Default Stock Electric fan with clutch fan

I would like some info from someone with some experience when the electric fan is suppose to come on when I have a stock clutch fan. I have a pretty much stock L82 '79. Right now the electric fan isn't coming on at all. And could some one please tell me where the relay is for that electric fan. Thanks in advance.

The stock temperature sensor for my '81 was designed to come on at somewhere around 239 degrees F. So it never came on. I replaced it with a lower temperature sensor from Summit (890018). The circuit breaker is in the fuse block under the dash.

I don't know what set up came on the '79 so it may be different.

Street Rat, is that a direct replacement with no modifications? What temp does it turn the fan on and off? I'd like to change the sensor my 79 L-82 if possible.
