Clutch style fan?

For 40 bucks or so put a 16 inch electric on, you can buy a thing at auto zone to turn on at any temp.

You might not believe me but I tried that and it didn't work out ..... the temps just kept climbing toward the 210 degree mark. The e-fan was mounted as a puller which suppose to be better than mounted as a pusher. This was using a stock radiator.

The only relief I got was to run a standard fan with steel fins (turns all of the time), bought a stock shroud, Griffin radiator, and install the e-fan as a pusher. The e-fan is used as backup purposes only. I can idle all day without running hot and stays around 190 max. I really believe the larger capacity radiator cured my over heating situation. I might could get away with a e-fan (as a puller) and the Griffin now but I'm leaving it well enough alone.

Your right. I described it backwards. I knew how it worked, just made a mistake in writing it out. My error.

Sounded good to me.... lol!

The '70 and up SB used the aluminum water pump. The '69 and down used the cast iron. I believe the '70 and up stick out more hence less clearance.

Yep!
