I never liked the old ones they use to have, but it looks like they've changed. It fits PERFECTLY over the core, covering from top to bottom, and it has "Made in the USA" stamped on it, so that's a plus and the wiring kit, I just grabbed the best one they had
has a control box and a relay that plugs into it, an adjustable dial on it to set the temp, the temp probe, and has the input for the AC clutch, so it'll kick on with the AC 
I also got a 3-position switch for it, so I can have it on fully auto, override on, or override off

a 16" Imperial; luckily a new design I never liked the old ones they use to have, but it looks like they've changed. It fits PERFECTLY over the core, covering from top to bottom, and it has "Made in the USA" stamped on it, so that's a plus

**HINT-make sure to seal the relay on to the control box. Mine got a little water on it and the relay started freakin out!!!**

but, I think I should be able to hear a 16" fan buzzing away, lol; me and the guys at the store were playing with it, hooking the wires up different ways on a battery and flpping the fan blade over, and it moves a LOT of air, and is pretty noisey

Oh yeah, I believe it! I like the indicator, it nice to see when it actually does come on. I can't hear my fan over my exhaust and stereo!!! lol!! When I swapped out my radiator it was amazing to see the difference of fan operations. Just fun I guess, no other reason! lol!

but all the old stuff on it is in need of attention really... and ok, so I'm taking some of the stuff to the extreme a little, lolgot a little more painting done; just the lower intake and the manual fuel pump blockoff plate. the skys were getting dark, so I called off any more work after the last coat of clear, and put the things in the garage to cure
that is actually about 45 minutes after laying the clear coat down; that stuff really keeps the paint looking like it's wet! it's gunna be sthow sthparkely

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio - Amelia is the exact place. There is no one else on this site from where I am. Seems like everyone is from Cali or Washington. I guess I need to move.

looks righteous bro, reminds me somewhat of a stock, late 60's chevy small block perhaps.
