[DeTomaso] FW: Looking for radiator thermo switch

[Forest Goodhart]

If it were I this is what I would do. Make a flat plate that fits the mounting 
studs of the original switch. Get the fan controller kit from Pantera 
Electronics. Dril and tap the center of the plate for the temperature sensor Jon 
uses and install his kit. Use the location that is the leaving water from the 
radiator and set for 10 degrees lower than the thermostat used in the engine. 
Entering water temp is of no concern as it will always be at or above the 
thermostat setting anyway.

I believe the 11033B to be oem style, the retrofit hex style plugs are part #'s 
11033C/D.
