[DeTomaso] Dinner with Sigbjorn....

[Stephen]

Huh?  Manual fans - someone rewired - the XKE's all came with temperature
sensors that turned on the fans...

Of course, having an XKE I switched it to a Spal PWM fan controller years
ago, and switched 5332 to the same system 2 weeks ago.

We are at talking a late 60's E-Type here, I don't think the Jag crowd are
as quick to rewire everything or put big wings on. There is value placed on
originality, which I think we are now seeing in the collector Pantera
market.
So how many cars in that era had manual fans? How many people forgot to
switch them on? I'm showing my age, but it's stuff we grew up with like
manual choke, headlight dip switch on the floor, windshield washers you
actually pumped. You didn't forget as it was part of your everyday driving
routine.

Absolutely! How many stories have you heard where people forget to switch on
their fans? Again, as silly as needing to switch on the oil pump....and
almost as costly. Both of my fans operate by thermal switch....just like
modern day cars.

You have a '71 pushbutton which (stock) has one of the two radiator fans
controlled only by a switch. Have you changed to the later all-automatic
operation?

Having a manual switch to turn on cooling fans is about as sensible as
having a manual switch to turn on your oil pump. But that's just me. 
 
Sounds like you guys had quite the adventure! Have a safe trip home!!
