Have a 1969 superbee with a 383. This winter sent my motor off for a rebuild/upgrade. Took forever... got to back about a month ago and have been slowly but surely getting it back in and getting car back together. Pretty much done but just went to install electric fan setup this evening. Four fan setup with two relays. Two fans per relay. Wiring and fan setup came together from wizard cooling. Followed instructions. Wired power and grounds directly to battery terminals and ignition power from clock behind dash. Started up for the first time to bleed coolant and see if fans would kick on when it came to temp. Stared fine and ran ok(didn’t idle well but new carb too and haven’t done a bit of tweaking yet) second fan kicked on car dies. Fans stay on and if key is on fans are still running but will not start back up. Once fans stop ( temp came below sensor temp) car starts again and once again fan kicks in and motor dies. Now car will not start even once fans turn off. Unplugged fans from relays and disconnected ignition power from clock still won’t start. Car has a post 1970 charging system with a 95 amp powermaster alternator. One thing I can add is my negative battery cable looks pretty weak and runs to the power steering pump bracket only. Only other ground wire is from back of aluminum head to firewall at voltage regulator. Not sure what my next step is and what could have been fried during this. Coil? Ballast resistor? Hoping to get some education from some of you guys as I only know enough to get my self into trouble. Thank s
