Didn't want to high jack the other thread but here is my question.

I have my wiring harness but for the time being I "hot wired" or straight wired it so I can move it around. I have it so that when I turn the switch on the electric fan runs and the only other wires I have are the ones that are switch to battery, to the starter, the distributor(internal coil). No other wiring is done so nothing to alternator ect. ect.
When I turn the ignition switch off the engine continues to run for say 3 or 4 seconds.
What makes it do this... is it "feed back" from the electric fan since it continues to turn till it coasts down???

At this point its just my curosity more than anything else.

EDIT: this is a 305 V8

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
