People who posted here were right. I used the stock HD cooling fan with a thermo/torque fan clutch.
My Zirgo EXPENSIVE $120 16" electric 3000cfm fan's motor burned up, and seized, destroying the 70amp relay.
Where I live, the management does not allow me to work on my cars ( I do anyway; there's this one officious Pri__ that is so fastidious about enforcing minor rules, when there are larger 'rules' governing this poorly built place). I have special rules--just for me.
"if we let you work on your car, then everyone else will."
WHAT???? There is not ONE soul in my loft building who ever even opens their hoods of their cars--much less performing work on their cars.
When I work on one of 5 cars, I always get these weird questions like, "How did you ever learn how to that?"
I always say, "How did you learn how to breathe or ride a bike?" You just do it, and learn from your mistakes.
And besides, all these people have cars that are new to me (1985 or newer), which don't need much maintenance.
It isn't rocket science working on my cars.
And the satisfaction gained from fixing a problem myself, when a "pro" mechanic has no clue what to do, is a great feeling.
Working on my cars is one of my best way of dealing with stress. I'm in my favorite world, and really enjoy it. cars are not just possessions, they are projects and labors of love.Most people don't understand that.
That's why I'm getting outta here, and looking for a house.
I do have to admit I love doing my oil changes here at 3AM, or pulling the transmission pan and changing the filter every three months ( for oil/oil filter ); 6 months for transmission fluid.

But I thank all of you who did suggest using the stock parts.
My electronic ignition system is still better than most people here believe. I do use 0.065" gap plugs because I have an 8.5 ign module and NOS Jacobs Variable magnetic core UltraCoil and an ACCEL 71105 e billet distributor.
It feels so great using this car again:laugh_4:
