Anyone running electric fans?
I have a 2700 cfm fan and adjustable thermo fan relay in my '59
Have it come on when there is hot water in the radiator... what temp thermostat are you running?
A few words of advice if I may offer:
Be careful where you put the probe for the fan relay, if using a screw-in temp sensor in the block get it as close to the water neck as possible.
Use the proper gauge wiring for your application and when extending wire go one size larger
Set the fan to come on below your target temp and adjust it upwards in temp rather than start high in temp and adjust downwards - this way you avoid an overheat situation
And, fans work best as pullers mounted inside the engine compartment, make sure your fan is pulling air from outside the car in rather than trying to blow out against the direction of travel
Good luck
