Does anybody know what temprature the electric cooling fan is suppose to be turned on at in an 82? Last weekend I was hitting 220 and never heard it come on.

Paul, On your '82 the OEM fan switch/sensor kicks in at about 238 degrees. I feel that this is a little to warm IMHO.

On my '81, I changed my senser to a 204 degree unit. I used NAPA Part # FS113 fan switch ($20-$25) and Part #FSC10 socket/pigtail ($10-$15). The fan switch threads into the passenger side cylinder head.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the part numbers. Will head over to my NAPA store today and see if they can help me. I think 238 is too long to wait to turn that fan on also.
