If you want to end high temps at long stop lights and when traveling slowly you can do what I did I ran a switched hot wire to the right side fan.
I added a switch where the power port was inside of the center arm rest.
Now my car is well behaved other than getting a little warm when pulling long hills, just like every other corvette I owned.
Everything else works just like before I added the switch and wire.
I pulled the power off the hot side of the running lights, which I don't have the fuse in.

I found this advertised here on the Forum, thinking about getting one for the hot summer months here in Memphis.

I finally got to pull some plastic off the engine to inspect the cooling fins.
There is a ton of grass stuck in there. You guys were right about sucking up a lot of debris.
I have tried to use my air compressor to clean out the junk from the engine side.
The one problem that I have is too small of a air compressor.
Other than buying a bigger compressor, does anyone have another suggestion on cleaning out this gunk?
