Where do you place the thermostat for the fan?

I've got a 740 fan on my 140 as the only fan and it seems to run at the wrong times. I've got the thermostat on the top radiator hose and set it so it doesn't turn on when the engine thermostat first opens but so it triggers just a few degrees higher.

Also the fan seems to produce a lot of backpressure against the radiator and I was wondering if any of you have this problem.

I know mine isn't a 120, but you all seem to know more about running electric primary cooling fans on road cars than I've found elsewhere.

Thanks!
