[TR] FW: auto fan controllers

[TERRY SMITH]

This is the sensor I used.  Seems to work fine.   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PB9KQG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PB9KQG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Also using a 3/8ths standard pipe thread (ISTR) T adapter, I screwed it in where the heater valve mounts to the head.  A plus is the temp it kicks on at is measured where the hottest part of the engine (I also STR) is, between number 3 and 4 cylinders.
