Steve, Be sure to check out this link too: http://www.townsendimports.com/entry/tech_doc_systems.html Click on the Cooling Systems link, and then the link about the time-delay relay. Hopefully this will set you on the right course. Lots of other usefull information on that site too. -T tnopsamkson.edu On Wed, 17 Mar 1999 10:50:20 -0500, Steve Ostrove <ostrovenopsam.edu> wrote: >Hi Everyone, > >I have a 1991 900 (no turbo, no S).
