I have never seen one like that before but that means nothingyou mean with the electronic piece on it? I think its so the heat doesn't run till the coolant is warm so it doesn't blow cold air.

408 stroker project (For Sale 5/2018) Reply #71 – October 02, 2008, 10:04:16 PM Thanks for the kind words.... I do have some progress this is one of those things you take one step forward and than two steps back. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I am moving forward though its just been a slow process.I've been dealing with lots of issues with the wiring harness under the hood. The previous owner was a firm believer of "twist and tape" for all his connections and that works in a jam as a quickie but after time (2-3 years) the tape falls off and all you have is bare wire waiting to hit a ground somewhere.I've been soldering and shrink wrapping wire everywhere under the hood and under the car. I had to completely re-wire the WOT A/C relay because the wires were left next to the header un-protected from the heat and were all melted and burt.Also I just noticed my engine that has never ran yet has developed an oil leak. Not at the gasket but on the pan at the front sump it looks it took a hit on the last setup and a py repair attempt of some shiznit was used to try and seal it up.Last is the hood that will not close. I tried Tom's advice and jumping on it didn't help. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy a hood for it. My next update should be of the engine running , I got my fingers crossed :) Quote Selected
