Okay i have a use SPAL fan in a Stock shroud
and i want to get it in tomorrow (raining on and off today)
i have this wiring set up from Painless
http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcatalog/largeview.php?SearchField=30102
but everything is used and i am using a diagram called Vintage Air Standard Electric Fan Switch kit and it seems to be very straight up but i am confused about a couple of things
#1 i want to stick the temp probe into the thermostat housing, and the bolt in there is allan key style and i can't get that ****er out no matter what i do... any easier spots? i want this to be clean and simple so im not drilling or tapping anything else.
#2 the circuit breaker, 1 wire goes to it and hte other wire goes to the start soleniod. which side of hte solenoid? side with the positive battery cable on it? or the other side?
#3 isn't the start solenoind a key on 12 volt power source? then why do i have to put another wire to a key on 12v power source, and if yes, can i do it back to the solenoid also? and can it be on teh same side touching the other piece?
#4 Does it matter what Gage wire i am using? i have 2 spools of wire, 1 of 10gage other of 14 gage.
if i have any mroe questions i will ask
thank you!

For #4 i would think the higher gauge the better since its going to be running a lot.

The thicker gauge wire yes. That way you dont have to worry abotu melting wires

use the 10 gauge or lower numerical. here this might help i got this from http://www.mailleartisans.org/articles/articledisplay.cgi?key=10945
(The AWG system was developed in America to be used for electrical applications, and is still used for non-ferrous wire. (Ferrous means iron-based.) The gauge numbers are based on electrical resistance, which increases as the wire gets thinner. (Picture the electrons flowing through the wire as a bunch of people running down a hallway. If the wire/hallway gets thinner, it slows them down since there's not as much room for them to get through. That's what resistance is.) When the gauge number increases by 3, the higher (thinner) wire will have twice the resistance of the lower (thicker) wire. A general rule of thumb says that when the gauge goes up by 6, the wire diameter is halved. (So, for example, 22g would be roughly half as thick as 16g.)
