1980 fan
I noticed while trying to get my A/C blow cooler, that there is a electric fan in front of my clutch fan on the motor. It spins freely, but don't seem to kick on can anyone tell me if tgis is factory or an add on for the upgraded ac system and also the location of the relay

If memory serves, there is no relay. The assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows the installation of the fan and wiring harness for the L-82 cars.
All 81s and 82s have the auxiliary electric fan.

I have an 80 L82 but now run a DeWitts aluminum rad with spal fans and contoller.
The orginal circuit works as mentioned above. There's a 30 amp fuse in the fuse block that should be marked fan (near lower left of fuse block). The temp switch in head turns it on or off. Power should always go to the fan on the pink lead. The fan is turned on by the temp switch closing to ground completing the circuit.
