Dial?????

On the underside of the block. Jack the car up and you should be able to see it.

[Paulbrown]

bugger my spelling is crap!! i mean dial on the dash to see how hot your engine is!! which side is it on and are the all the same on every nova?

[robb]

On my GSi lump it is on the little two into one sort of metal lump just under tha right hand side of the inlet. It is one of those spade connector things that goes to it, blue wire.

i thought it was some where around the coolant lines as thats what getts hot and tell the fan to swich on but not sure any one with more ideas?

[robb]

The switch for the fan is on the side of the radiator, take the plug off, turn ignotion on and cross the plug terminals to test fan.

The guage sender is on the back.....

Don't confuse it with the oil temperature sender on the back on middle of block halfway down and the other temp and pressure sunder on bottom right of block (both on back of motor).

if your temp guage dosent move much, then its likely to be the thermostat is buggered.

Nice carbs Benji :D how many horses fit in there? Also how much is it to do a track day? I read you been to one and I want to try it too, when I do some more work to the car :roll:
