I have a thermostat, and cable/fan. That is it. My engine bay pump is hooked up to open air and it never turns on........


I have searched google, type IV secrets revealed and this forum as well as others. I can't find the pictures I need or info I need on when/how the air pump in the bay is activated.

I'm trying to not blow up my good condition 1800 fuelie, and I get the feeling with the hot muggy weather coming back here a working cooling systme is probably A1 before I start driving it semi regularly.

Does anyone have any photos? Tips/hints?


From what I was told the pump just evacuates the engine bay air below the tin so it is not recycled back through by the cooling fan and back over the heads?

I suck at air cooled cars.

Make sure that the flaps inside the fan shroud work right. They are supposed to fail open. Mine failed closed.

I took the bellows off the engine and static set the flaps open. I don't trust them. my car won't drive in the winter, so I am not to worried about really cold starts and long warm up times.

I think I may just do this, if I can't get it proper. Insurance it will not overheat.

The cable has already fallen off the pulley twice now.....
