Cooling System Update for 64 Dart
I’m revisiting this now that I have my new engine in. I have lots of space.
In this photo, the radiator isn’t in yet, but there will be more than an inch I believe between the front of the fan and the radiator. (I believe, maybe a little less than an inch). But there’s plenty of space between the front of the engine and the current radiator.
all of the wiring is brand new Ron Francis stuff. Went ahead and ran wires in the loom for the eventual addition of an electric fan setup. The alternator currently on the car isn’t the final one for when the fans are swapped, just one I had on hand that can keep up with my current accessories.
Removed the old York compressor and the Sears knee-knocker A/C unit for the eventual addition of a Sanden compressor and A/C retrofit.
Like I said previously, trying to cut down parasitic loss. There’s always some, but a fixed or clutch fan draws a lot more than electric, and on a smaller engine that’s especially noticeable.
