Scott,
While I cannot assist you with this specific issue, I do have a
recommendation.
This automatic thermal switches have a SERIOUS problem, when they are not
part of a factory installation that provides a screw-in boss. Generally,
they are sensing cylinders that are pushed between tubes. Their accuracy
relies on intimate contact with the tube surface. This requires a tight
squeeze between tubes.
As you travel down the road, this sense element has the opportunity to
'wiggle' between the tubes, and it does. The resultant constant rubbing
can actually wear thru the thin copper and you have a leaking radiator.
NOT GOOD.
Just put a switch in. You'll know when your engine is running hot, usually
in bumper-to-bumper on a hot day, and can turn it on. You can but a SPST
(single pole single throw) Lucas switch that looks just like your others.
It can be mounted in the plugged hole for the non-existent choke cable.
You will have to widen the wood a little on the dash back side to assure
the switch fits deeply enough that the knurled round nut fits on.
If your heating problem is more severe, and you find you are using this fan
a lot in other than extreme conditions, you have other problems. The fans
are usually ineffective over 30 mph, as the wind velocity of your speed
brings so much more air in than a fan can.
