Re: 406 powered S-10

One thing that was odd was that the Hedman conversion headers had the exhaust flanges welded on upside-down. I didn't notice it until I went to try and thread the OEM temp sensor into the cylinder head and the edge of the header flange wouldn't allow for it. So I relocated the sensor to the intake. The 2 electric fan temp switches are mounted in the aluminum t-stat housing.

Closeup of the charging system harness and the low/high temp trigger leads for the dual speed/dual fan assembly I'm adding.

More pics....AC delete panel is used on this truck but I'm still retaining the original AC harness. PO hacked it all stupid so I put it back correctly and mounted an AC blower resistor. Other pics show the electric fan temp switches, and I added a couple extra IGN hot leads from the modified factory fuseblock bulkhead connector so I can add a simple plug in for the electric fan relay bank IGN on trigger.
