Jeff, remember that ugly white wire I was running into the fan switch =
plug that you commented about? Same thing!
Fan will run low speed all the time but better cool than toast!

I kinda need to keep this short, because I need tech help and I'm =

Before I get into the specifics - I first have to thank Raffi, =
Craig and most of all Tobias for sacrificing their time and energy to =
get my heap back to road-worthiness (especially Tobias who, in spite of =
his other committment (I hope Al will forgive me) kept plugging into the =
wee hours of this morning even when I was ready to throw in the towel. I =
know the beer and grub I provided them doesn't even scratch the surface =
of my gratitude. I hope I can be there for these guys if the opportunity =
arises. This list and the people on it rule!=20
=20
After tinkering with the timing and distributor for a while (and =
connecting a hidden air hose!), we finally got it started around 1:30 am =
and once it got running for a few minutes it was remarkably smooth =
running. Each time trying to start it, it got easier - so much so that =
it would start on the first crank which never happened with the 1.8!=20
=20
But then we noticed that the coolant temp was getting exceedingly =
high (which is weird because I installed a low temp fan switch and =
thermostat). I must have been too tired because we just filled the =
radiator and let it run thinking the fan would come on sometime, right? =
Unfortunately, I ruptured a hose (I hope) somewhere near the =
distributor.=20
=20
Can the fan switch plug go on reverse of the way it's supposed =
too? It's gotta be either that or the thermo-time switch failing, right? =
Anyone else have any ideas? I'm in a bad spot and need to get this car =
back on the road ASAP - time for trouble-shooting this is scarce....=20
