It is a flex a lite fan, #150, the universal one (i think). it was off an 80's camaro with a done out 350.

If I had to guess:

C=Air cond.

B=Thermostatic Bulb(Heat sensor)

M=Manual switches

G=Ground

+=Live power

I'm just guessing by the picture at this link I looked up.

Here is the actual instructions from flex-a-lite:

This tells you exactly what to do - good luck.

You should be able to order the specific parts from the 175 kit to make your universal fan bolt on to the car, they are the same fan assy. That would make the install super easy.

I want one of those so bad now!! I have balked cus my autozone rebuilt alternator does not exactly pump out the juice all that good. My volts drop down to under 13 with the lights, fan, ac on, and I have stock pulleys apparently( at least I did not change them and EVERTHING was original on this car except for the air filter. How much juice do those take, any problems with pulley sets and a stock alternator??

We just installed one on the 88GT that my son and I are putting together. Amp draw is 13.9 amps I believe. The Mustang performance show mentioned no problems when using a stock alternator or stock pullies. We're planning on going with underdrive pullies - with plans on bumping up the stock alternator as my son wants a stereo.

Hmmm, sounds good to me, I ended up with a flex fan which is loud as hell. When I changed my radiator, I freaked at the cracks in the plastic fan, and could not get a stock one that same day, so I got the flexalite. Plus I have the aftermarket 3 row radiatior and it's a PAIN to put that fan back on, and it scuffs the shroud occasionally, and I have to re-tweak it.
