My fans are wired through a thernostat and off of the ignition. I would
like to rewire them, still through the thermostat, but off a permanently
hot wire. That way, after I stop, the fans can run until the radiator cools
some. I recall my F**t 124 Spider was wired that way. Any comments? (It's a
'78B roadster, ps-LE)
