Will this work for my fan?

I just bought an electric fan from a '94 Mark VIII and was wondering if this install kit will be good enough or do I need to keep looking.

Yes that looks like a quality kit.. You can't beat it for the price just be sure to eye that temp gauge..

It's only a one-speed kit. A Mark VIII fan should be two-speeds. Therefore you would need two temp switches unless you opted to run only hi or only low.


Links are provided in the tech thread compilation linked in my sig below. Scroll down to the cooling section for better alternatives like from Hollister Road.

I thought the Mk VIII fan was a two speed fan. If so this kit appears to only provide one speed.

There are some Lincoln fans with a single speed... signified by only two wires at the fan plug. A two-speed fan would have three wires - hi, lo, and ground.

Since I don't tow anything nor live in a hot area (WA), I think I will be fine with it running on low only. If it gets hot I will wire up the high speed with another relay and sensor. I have three wires on my fan so I know I have the two speed. Thanks guys.
