1980 electric cooling fan
i have a 1980 L82 auto. It is very original in everyway. I was wondering if they came stock by anychance with a electric fan? It sure looks like it was born with it. Thanks

Re: 1980 electric cooling fan (SmokinL82)
My 79 has a factory original electric fan tucked up against the radiator. Acts as a "puller" in addition to the clutch fan. When I got my car the electric fan was not hooked up and the relay and sensor were gone. Just this past weekend a mechanic friend helped me hook mine back up. We just added a relay and wired it to run whenever the key is on. I'm going to try it this way and see if is it OK, or, if it gives me problems using to much of my "electric juice" I will wire in a hidden toggle switch.

I think the L82 had an electric fan as stock in 1980. Seems that way fom what I've read. My 80 is an L48, and has no fan, just the plug in the loom for one. I guess this is because you could order it as an option on the 80 L48?
