1997 Mustang GT Thermostat Installation and Position
Hello all,
I been having some strange issues with my mustang in AZ weather. It is a 97 Mustang GT i have alot of mods on this car, but I think my Fan assumably is failing, my temp sending unit, or the thermostat.
I bought a new thermostat, and need help installing it.
I actually know where its located, how to remove it and how to install it.
I just need help positioning it.
I included a picture and just want to know where is this pointed? Engine or Radiator.
It is a MotoRad fail safe unit, and the mustang has a new Maniforld from Dorman.
Thanks.
I am hoping that this will take care of it, however what i am thinking is that since the heat only happens when use AC or Traffic Driving, i think that my fan does not kick into second gear. It runs as has as 80-85% on the gauge. NORAML it sits between A/M, at that point car runs very sluggish.

Yea very easy install. You should not have any problems doing it. Maybe a 5 min. job at the most. Make sure you use a new rubber O-ring.. Good Luck
