cooling fan switch

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 390 for my 68. I'd like to go to an electric cooling fan for the rad and so far I have the fan, relay and enough wiring to make up what I need. One thing I don't have yet is the switch to make it all work. I'd like something that will fit into the intake, anyone got any suggestions as to what to use? I searched the site, but so far no mention of a switch anywhere.

Go to any decent auto parts stor and get a thermo switch for an electric fan. I believe they're around 15 bucks at autozone. Just follow the directions and you'll be fine. Super easy.

I have a dual 12" fan setup along with the main belt drive fan & fan clutch. The thermo switch for my electric fan is a probe that stabs into the core (outside) between the rows of fins near the top. I mounted a togle switch under the dash that allows me to switch between manual on, manual off, and auto. The thermo switch is adjustable for the fans to come on at varying temperatures when in auto mode.
