I had a plug crack its halfway down the left side of the radiator if facing the car. Its about 4 inches above the drain plug. Its not attached to anything us only a plug. It came out super easy and before I just threw a bolt in it I figured I'd ask if it has a name. The only thing I've figured is that it plugs what would cool the transmission in an automatic and mine is a manual so no need. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pga077qew0sby8z/2015-01-19%2016.10.24.jpg?dl=0

I know this is why it's over heating because I can see the steam coming out.

There was nothing attached to the plug? I would assume if it told a fan to go on it would be wired? Both fans work it looks almost like I have an automatics radiator and someone just plugged it?

Its been a wild ride trying to figure this car out but I love it. I appreciate the info...no one has been sure so I am happy to know I need a new one and I want to find a used one clean it pull it apart and then know how.

Its oval shaped.

This whole car feels Frankenstein... While I like that aspect, I'm learning a lot about cars through this. No one can tell if its carbureted or a fuel injected throttle body. The stovepipe I ordered won't fit the car has 2 timing belts...I just really hope the 4x4 was used very little. I love a manual with 4 high and low that is this small.

Yea both fans are fine. Its just this stupid plastic plug piece. It has no wires its not attached to anything, and serves no purpose I can see except plugging a hole.

Also most of this car is not new...except for what I've replaced. This was a new problem if that helps.

I have two fans because of ac. I just have read that once I get the remainder of this plug out, I can use a metal bolt. I don't want to search all over for that plug piece.
