Default Question for DeWitts fan users.

I just received the DeWitts fan assy which is a very nice piece, I just have a question what everyone uses for the electrical connection? I am looking to keep the wiring on the car stock and looking for a connector to mate up to it. If not, what type of weather tight connector is everyone using?

That's what I might have to do......
I was looking for a connector like the ones on our stock fans to make it a plug and play.

If you want GM "Weather Pack" connectors, you can buy them from delcity.net
You need the male/female connectors, male/female pins and silicone seals. These are the same connectors that come standard on many late model GM vehicles.
This current post has some other sources...

Yup, got the rad and fans together. I put a lil Mothers polish to the rad tanks and it looks too good to put anti-freeze in now......
