New to classics, Blazers and site. Lots of Qs

Hey all,

I have raced and worked on porsche 944 and boxsters in the past, so im OK with a wrench, but I started seeing these blazers around and just couldnt help myself. I picked up this 72 Blazer with a Vortec 6.0. Thus, im out of my league on both fronts and will prolly be asking a lot of questions.



Here goes the first few Qs...

The steering wheel isnt straight. I need to get a puller to get this aluminum piece off, right? Then pound it back on so the wheel will be straight?



Then, a bit more importantly, I don't think the fans are coming on. When at idle the temp gets hot 220+. If driving, temp drops down to around 180 or less. Is this image a sort of old school relay? It seems there is no elec to the fan red wires. However, there is elect on the yellow wires that come from always hot, and a green wire goes to the vortec computer, I assume for telling fans when to kick on due to temperature of engine? I did check fans manually, and they work with electricity. When should fans kick on? What temp?



Front seats and belts. Ughh... These are pretty garbage after market seats with 4 point harness. I dont need such for taking the wife & dog to the beach. Any suggestions on some good seats with integrated belts?

Thanks in advance to all the gurus out there...

TJ
