So about 5 years ago I built my own harness to run my Ramcharger dual speed electric fans. The harness worked okay but I chose the wrong temp switches and once it came on it would never shut off again until the engine cooled way down and I never finished hooking up the switch to make it come on automatically when the AC was switched on.

Since I'm redoing a bunch of wiring under the hood while taking the CCC system out, I figured it was a good time to upgrade the fan harness and do it right. This is where Jabin ( gbodyparts1234 at yahoo.com ) comes in.

Here are a couple of pics of the Lance built harness I just removed.





And here is what you get when you purchase a harness from Jabin.







Every wire is labeled so you know exactly where it is to hook to



Look at how it all just oozes quality. The relays, the connections, the wire... I wanted an override switch and told him where I would put the relay bank and he built all of that in with plenty of wire to customize for my application. He also include enough wire crimps and heat shrink to complete all of the hookups to the car.

I don't see why anyone putting fans in their car would do anything other than having Jabin build a harness for their application.

Thanks Jabin!!

It made heat!!!

Removed ECM, distributor, carburetor and all associated sensors and wiring...installed new MSD ignition box, MSD distributor, Innovate Air Fuel meter and a Bob Built carburetor...and rewired a TON of stuff under the hood and under the dash.

I poured some gas down the vent tube in the carb to help with startup, pumped the gas twice, turned the key and I swear...it fired on the very first revolution and jumped right to 1500 RPM high idle until it warmed up a bit.

Had a bit of a fuel leak at the carb so I shut it down to work on that. Every time after that it fired right back up and idled great. I need to learn how to time things a bit better with the ignition box, it is completely programmable box and I think you are supposed to phase the distributor in and then set the timing tables from there. I can barely move the distributor and it drastically changes where the idle timing is...but it's a PITA to see the timing mark on my engine. I'll get to that though...it's pretty damn good where it is right now considering everything I changed.

AFR bounces around 14.3 to 14.7 at idle once warmed up and jumps down to 10-12 under quick revs...and it never stumbled once. Granted no load on the engine but so far so good on the carb end.

The fans kick on when it gets to around 210 degrees or so and then kick back off after a minute or so of idling...they NEVER did that before. They also kick on when the AC is turned on.

Overall, I'm VERY happy...now I can settle down, schedule a trip to the cage builder, and work on fine tuning things a bit.

Here's a short crappy cell phone video...

Thanks Patrick, trying to figure out ways to keep up with that Poncho on my limited budget! `

Congrats Lance! I'm glad this is all coming together for you. Your one of the few rare guys on here that is working on an actual drivable car. I'm looking forward to more videos, and again, your car sounds killer!

Sometimes you have to take a step backward in order to make another step forward...

Ready to go see the cage builder...

Looking forward to seeing how you and they work out the design. Are you going for the legal type side bars or the more entry friendly pro touring style?

I did all of my chassis boxing, bracing and roll cage at the same time so I have no way to quantify the changes. I'm real curious to hear how the cage changes (or not) your car since you already have so much seat time already.

Keep the pics coming!
