my camera takes fairly large photos, i've uploaded them into an album on photobucket you can view it HERE.EDIT: if you are looking at the wiring, the blue wire gets tunneled into the green wire on the fan housing assembly and i think that metal thing is supposed to be a temperature probe but its just mounted onto the radiator with the c clamp looking thing that is insulated with foam in the picture on summit

this may be true however at this time being a 19 yr old college student relying on the government and prepaid college terms, i am trying to minimize my budget to the smallest degree so if i can fix the current fan system i presume i will be happy. Is there really an improvement between a clutch fan and an electrical fan?
so far my bill runs me to a new water pump and thermostat. adding a clutch and fan may break teh bank plus i dont even know what else i would need.

You can get the thermostat and water pump at any local parts store. Why are you looking at the high priced stuff at summit? You don't have a race car. Most every thing you will need for that car can be purchased at the local parts store.
i truly didn't know the line between what auto zone would and wouldn't carry. Regardless they have to special order the WP and is just about the same price as summit.
Are the belt lengths written on them? I have some fraying and this is as good a time as any to replace them.
Scratchin i'll shoot you a pm.

Unless the water pump is leaking I'll bet money it's not bad. I have never seen a water pump rust the impellers off.
CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT FIRST! This is a cheap fix. If the stat is stuck, the water pump is not circulating water to the radiator.
He never said if it was leaking or not, probally never looked close enough to know.
If it ain't leaking, it's working. lol Like you said.
Too bad our government won't fix our cars yet.

190 stat Slant is good, Robertshaw used to be a nice piece, had bid slots to let lots of flow happen. You need an engine driven fan. Will save you a ton of heart aches. Take Sracthin up on his offer
I want my fair share
