What does the radiator resistor  look like??  I was just at the junk
yard and I took out the left head light (of a mid 80s water cooled
van) and I could see NOTHING there, nor anything that looked like
it had been removed.  Or is it inside the van, up under the
dash?????  I couldn't see it in the Bentley either.  Thanks,
Malcolm S
