I had the three prong type - whatever is stock. The original did not work 
at all, and I still don't know if the dual stage fan is working right. Some
more fiddling to do this summer.

At least now I don't have to turn on the defroster to keep the engine
from overheating - before the only way it would run is when the air
conditioner was active - no fun in the winter...

I think the combination of thermostat and fan switch needs to be looked
at if you want to modify the cooling system temperature. I am not sure what
combination would work best for your setup. Maybe somebody out there has
a better idea??
