No, that box is a relay/harness and switch. We dumped the controller a couple years ago do to too many recalls and customer complaints.

You could just email christyn@dewitts.com with all the information. When sending the credit card number, send it in two emails breaking the number in half each time. IE
4567-6500-xxxx-xxxx then xxxx-xxxx-1234-5678

What kind of complaints? I put one of your dual fans in my son's vette with a controller. We are having electrical problems now due to a constant 12v draw on the battery. Could the controller be causing the problem?

Most of the problem were the fans just stopped working and/or a misunderstanding on how to install it or set them up. Nothing on current draw

Hey Tom, do you know if the SP036 will still allow for the use of the factory dual snorkel air intake on a '79 L-82 car w/ AC? Its been a while since I messed around under the hood of mine, so I don't remember if this would be an issue or not.

Second question, is SP036 a complete enough kit that I won't need any other parts to have a working installation? Any hoses, temp senders, relays, electrical parts, etc that I would need to purchase seperately?

I keep thinking that this would really clean up the area forward of my motor & accessories. Would make it much easier to clean around the AC compressor / PS pump / Alternator, etc.

If you have any info on the install problems others have had, I'd like to see it to make sure I didn't install/setup it incorrectly. Please send any info to villardk@gmail.com.

Thanks. I'll be ordering the SP006 today. **** Ordered it today! Can't wait to get it...****

No problem with the air intake and yes, it is a complete package. All you need is a sunny afternoon to install

Tom, how do you ship to Canada? I would love to have a new rad and dual fans to replace my 32 year old original. With our $.77 dollar and then 13% added on to the converted total and then the brokerage fees is enough to put us in cardiac arrest. Fedex is my preferred courier...do you use them or UPS?

Our standard is UPS, but I understand your concern. They really do gouge you up there, in fact, there is a class action suit against ups for that. They may be easing up on the charges since that is going on, I don't know. We can use Fed Ex if you want, work with Christyn@dewitts.com on that

Tom,
I just purchased the BC3 restoration core for my 72 LT-1. Great deal! Does it come with the black finish?

I installed Tom's radiator on my '79 and my '92 Vette and couldn't be more pleased. The workmanship and quality cannot be beat!
