Quick question, on my "89" there is a fan in front of the radiator, at what temperture is it supposed to come on ? The fan behind the radiator come on fine, just not too wild about the car reaching 220 degrees with the a/c on.

Your front (aux. / boost) fan comes on at 238*. You can make it come on BEFORE your main fan by changing out the switch between plugs 1 and 3 on the drivers side.

You can get answers to this kind of question in the Tech section. If you want to know what wheels look like or what kind of floor mats to buy Gen. is the right place.

BTW buy a manual.
