the b16 is an obd0 block if the fan switch is on back of block......b17 motor is an obd1...fan switch is on thermostat housing......extend your fan switch wires and use according plug....make sure you solder and heatshrink your connections......done it many times, no problems

just cut the plug off the fan switch wires. connect them together. The fan will come on any time you turn your can to on. I like haveing the car setup that way. Then you don't question is the fan is going to turn on when you need it to. Sometimes those sensors go bad and you'll overheat your engine.
