Make sure the hose is hot before you check it.
Run it up tp 2500 rpm when you check the hose.
Do a direct drive fan, you will lose 20% fan speed with a clutch set up.
on my car, a direct drive fan is about 7-8 degrees better than a clutch type , altho I`m running the clutch type , my 68 426 hemi came out from the factory w/ a clutch type .
