E-fan on my short list

ORIGINALLY I had:

26" 2 core radiator (new)
50/50 coolant
180 stat
AC Fan
AC water pump
NO fan shroud
19 degrees timing

I had almost no issues with this setup except for HOT days in traffic.

Now I have gone UP to a 3 core radiator
25/75 coolant with water wetter
15 degrees of timing
..and with various e-fans it never cooled right if not moving.

I think I'm gonna strip off the e-fan, put the AC fan back on and get a shroud. With the radiator, new coolant mix and wetter it should cool great. I see no reason I can't run my timing back out either.


Like I said, A/C Fan And Shroud is what you need.
Electric fans on an old car require a lot more juice to run than the car was originally equipped to handle.
In traffic the fan moves the air and the shroud makes sure it comes thru the radiator.
