Mark VIII fan

Ok guys went to the junkyard today and found what I believe to be a mark VIII fan. You guys are referring to the Lincoln Mark VIII right. How do I tell which one is only a one speed model.

A Mark Viii fan has a three wire connector - ground, low speed, and high speed.

EDIT: Info on the Mark Viii fan here: http://www.thehollisterroadcompany.com/MarkVIII.html

... and a relay kit: http://www.hollisterroad.com/proddet...?prod=MarkVIII

Yer welcome. Car Craft did a write up on electric fans which featured the Mark Viii as well as the Taurus duals. Here it is: Electric Radiator Fans - Car Craft Magazine

You're welcome.

Ya know we're gonna want pics and a write-up on how ya make that fusebox, harness & circuitry work on your rig with the M8 fan upgrade... Say, you've already got the sensors on the plugs!

Metric threads? In that case, you'll also need sensors that are spec'ed in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. J/K!

Jon

The fan I got was from a MKlll also but the wiring plug only had 2 connectors; single speed. But, The fan plug has 3 pins; Ground, low & hi. It works as both low and high! I put mine thru an amp gauge and it was drawing 30 amps on hi. They sure do put out some CFM's....

Thanks again HIO It was 26* here this morning so it might be a day or two before I need elect. cooling.....
