Keith is a Genius, as always. :) Napa's book is pretty helpful, amazing how few different ones there really are. Need to visit my local junkyard and see if we can grab a couple of options.. the 89-92 Colt/89-94 Summit/Talon/Galant/Mirage/Eclipse/Laser is a nice one (185*), as is the 84-94 Tempo/Topaz (200-210*). They even had a 2 stage listing one (the FS151) that has one set at 190-209 and the second at 209-226... just not sure what it fits (forgot to write it down).. oh well, huge M22 threads anyhow, so thinking that might be a bugger to try and adapt.
Thanks Keith for the heads up, great help!!

Go to NAPA and get them to pull out the Thermosensor Book. You'll find
hundreds, with a range of connector styles, thread types and on temps all
documented.
Or just wire it straight into the ignition.

It does have AC (that miraculously works!).. so we need to intercept the
engage wire and rig that up properly as well.
Looks like (thanks Rob!) I can pillage a temp switch off an Escort
GT/Miata, which will give me a turn on around 206*F/97*C... so that's half
the battle. I forgot the Miata has one, since mine has been broken off for
a couple of years and I use ECU control instead.
Anyone know of other vehicles that have a thermoswitch that might be lower
(something closer to 185-190)?

You'll need a 2nd relay if the car has A/C. It should turn on when the
A/C
compressor runs.
