    Electric fan install help.

    Also, after going through the instructions, I do think my Proform distributor will work being locked out. So this is going to be great with all the modern technology. No more points, no more mechanical fan, no more carb, no more vacuum advance, no choke, no more trying to tune them all to get...

    Electric fan install help.

    After getting the FiTech, I see that I will want to use the Entropy controller, but, I still need to call them and fing out why I only have one speed on the fans. I spent an extra 40 bucks for thier LSX controller becuase it handles two speeds, but now I think maybe it only has that option if...

    How does a clutch fan operate?

    I understand wanting to know how to check one, so good for you looking to learn. I also think if you are trying to not spend $30 replacing a 46 year old fan clutch, you probably don't deserve to own a 340.

    Electric fan install help.

    The install is done and works perfect. I had to cut off the GM style connectors and add the Fords, glad I picked up that harness. Had to shorten the wires for my application, all expected and went easy. One thing I can't find in the directions was how to activate the hi and low speeds, I know...

    Electric fan install help.

    Thank you for the clarification, I did know enough that I did not want a probe or a sender seeing as how the the sender I'm using is so far off it's ridiculous. But I did not know how they actually differ, except that the GM style with the kit is the same type my Avalanche uses which is very...

    Electric fan install help.

    I'm not knocking Dakota, but there is no way I could have paid $120 for ther controller and wired it up with this kind of quality for the $150 I paid for this, it has ten gauge power wire, comes with the temp sensor, not a cheap sending unit, a sensor. Also this has lifetime warranty. Now if it...

    All weather pac connecters, even at the box its sealed with an oring and the connecters going in, so it's basically as waterproof as an engine compartment would be in a modern car.

    Electric fan install help.

    I got the Entropy controller tonight. Very happy I went this way the quality is fantastic. I'm trying to post pics, we'll see if it works. The first one is the box, I had no idea this company was this big, I expected generic packaging. Second one is open with contents and after that just some...

    Electric fan install help.

    I fired the fans up, they are very smooth, nicely balanced, and they move ALOT of air. Very happy with these so far. The controller comes tomorrow, I can't wait to see this little piece of art, hopefully I will have it in this weekend. I gotta say it is very wierd hearing the same electric fan...

    Cooling issue, but this time it's to cold...

    The temp sensor that came on the gauge ( preassembled ) does not fit the location your referring to, it fits the port right by the thermostat housing on the Edelbrock manifold. I don't think flow was the problem unless it was too much flow. Guys all over are fighting overheating and here I was...

    If anybody wants a magic radiator, fan and clutch that will never let your car get too hot, I have one I'm not using.

    Cooling issue, but this time it's to cold...

    Absolutely nice and hot. Somewhere people were getting confused, maybe I wasn't making it clear, I thought I explained it before. The heater not making heat had nothing to do with the problem. I was explaining that the temp gauge going down with the temp in the engine also directly reflected in...

    Cooling issue, but this time it's to cold...

    Ok guys, I'm going to give you the info, do what you want with it, I cannot explain it... So the whole time I had this engine from break-in, it's never overheated, it got hot enough to open the verified accurate thermostat but, my new Sunpro gauge was reading that it was only around 120 degrees...

    Electric fan install help.

    I did get it installed today, it looks great. It fits very good but that fan assembly is only about a half inch from the bolts on the water pump pulley. I think that is plenty seeing how any torque on the motor will be up down, if I had forward back movement we would have a whole new discussion...

    Electric fan install help.

    Forgot to mention that Tony stated when the AC cycles it will run the fans at high for better cooling. Not sure if it will still RAMP up, hopefully or that would be a big oversight.

    Electric fan install help.

    I did talk to Tony before purchasing, I'm a complete novice with this, but what I get is from talking to him is that the fans will ramp up to low and then if needed go to high to prevent a high spike of off to hammering the voltage to high, which would be nice in our fragile systems. Also it...

    I saw this controller on another thread and ordered one. http://www.entropyrad.com/lsx-series/parallel-dual-speed-dual-fan-programmable-fan-controller.html I wanted one the was sealed and could be mounted under the hood rather than having to run wires all the way inside the pass compartment...

    THanks so much 72, that would be easier, but I have the 22 inch radiator which means I have to cut off the tabs from the fan unit, so totally different.

    I know it's a pain, but could you take a couple pics please. I understand what your getting at, but the layout is a little hard to picture just from an explanation. I'm going with pretty much all your advice here.

    Radiators: Is 22" enough for 400 HP?

    Just so you guys know, I just got my ford fans from Amazon, it came sealed in a Dorman box and had the low speed resistor installed. I don't know if some shady sellers are taking them off and reselling them or what, but if you get a sealed Dorman box fan assembly, it does have the resistor...

    Gold duster I looked at your pics and as far as I can see Magic is holding it on. The install is so clean I can't even see any mounts.

    THe radiator came today, I'm looking at how to mount the fan unit to it. Anybody feel like taking some pics of the mounts you used? Sure would be appreciated.

    Another point, but I think it's relavant here. I'm really considering switching to the Evans coolant when I change this out. It's just so exspensive.

    Electric fan install help.

    Ooohhhh, I'm gonna get blasted for this... If I had that kind of money in an engine, which is nowhere near what the factory envisioned, no way I would use old school technology to try and keep it safe, good choice. I received the Dorman fan today, it definately looks to be of OE quality...

    I ordered a Champion radiator today, so now I have the harness and the NEW not used fans are coming along with a new radiator, I also ordered a Champion overflow tank, I just need to get the Dakota controller ordered this weekend, or if I'm out there is a speed shop about 20 miles away I could...
