Anyone got a recommendation for and adjustable electric fan thermostat. My fan originally came with one but it quit working. I have a manual switch working it now but something automatic would be so much better. It's a puller fan mounted between the engine and radiator. 50 Ford 8BA flathead. Thanks.

I had a neighbor that worked for Hayden in the 1980s that used to get me stuff at cost. I had one of their controllers and fans on a '66 Mini Cooper 1275 S. Hayden was a quality product, hopefully it still is. I had it wired with a toggle switch to override the control unit just in case it failed (like yours did) I could bypass it with the switch.
