180 deg. off with the engine running? Doesn't that mean that the fan runs constantly with the engine on?

Hi Joe,
We use that kit style on the cars where people have installed a 180 degree thermostat in the engine and want their fan to come on earlier than stock. The fan kit temperature sensor has a heat sink attached which cools it faster than the engine when the fan is on, so that the fan cycles off faster. The 180 /200 degree figures are at the fan kit temperature sensor switch mounting location and the engine coolant gauge will indicate about 10 degrees higher.
The manual switch kit is $59.95. I don't advertise them and generally make them if someone asks for one. Maybe I should add them onto the website.

P.S.
My '96 GTS with stock radiator, duct kit and 180 degree thermostat runs at the line below all three over the 190 on the stock gauge (182 actual) and never gets past the three marks over 190 on the street. It gets up to the 3/4 (220 degree) mark on the track when running hard. Any hotter and I'd put in a Fluidyne radiator.
