    Plastic for cooling sucks.

    Some parts over time you can count on failing, others not, this is one in the not column of not. Parts failures of this type make me think WTF is going to break next.

    Redundancy and Overkill time, (best reasonably priced thermostatic cooling fan)

    I believe your pusher fans will block airflow across the radiator when cruising,then the temp will rise and the fans will have to come on when not needed. Either use a mechanical clutch fan or dual puller fans (if space allows)

    Radiator upgrade experiences?

    The most common overheating problem....radiator in poor (clogged) condition. Before you spend your $$$ open the cap and take a look see inside at the fins. If they have built up crud, drain and flush there are many methods.

    Shopping for a fan I would consider: Size Thickness CFM Amperage Price Reviews/Reputation

    Run electric fans all the time?

    Well both types have plus/minus things about them. Electric is quieter on cruise, less of a paracite, cools better at idle, water pump lasts longer? but more to go wrong with electric than mechanical.

    Cooling suggestions (fan)

    I am tired of dealing with all the over engineered BS on cars. So many problems from ECU, PCM GEM etc etc. Why put another layer on **** on a simple classic peace of mind car. I deal with this crap on a regular basis, now I need a PCM for my 2001 Honda that won't start below 50 degrees unless I...

    Cooling suggestions (fan)

    Sure it works great until it doesn't like everything else, less room for another techy failure. Do you really need or want to rely on extra stuff that can and WILL fail? I had it happen...more technology for the sake of technology.

    Cooling suggestions (fan)

    The downfall of people going with electric usually comes down to poor wiring techniques. If you use an electric fan(s) don't go with any type of electronic controller use a simple capillary type switch with good quality Bosch type relays. Also have a backup jumper circuit to bypass any controls...

    1965 Dodge Dart, Rain leaking in to the coupe

    Sorry, raise the hood and look where the cowl meets the firewall closest to the fender, there is a small drain that is there but hard to see. I don't have a smart phone to take a pic maybe somebody can post up. This drain always gets plugged up with leaves. When you run a hose into the cowl you...

    1965 Dodge Dart, Rain leaking in to the coupe

    There is a drain hole/slot on each side of the cowl, when you raise you can see them near the fender/firewall. Make sure those are cleaned so water does not fill up the cowl and find its way inside.

    Electric - Pusher Fan ?

    no in my experience it will not affect highway cooling, install a 16inch pusher if you have space limitations on the engine side. It will help cooling in stop/go and low speed

    Pusher - Shroud after or no?

    I had the same space problems with early A's, on one car I mounted a 16 inch pusher front of radiator, This setup cools OK with a 300 hp small block 3 row stock type radiator. It never overheats in any situation but the fan runs continuously anytime the temp is above maybe 60 deg. Another...

    340 electric fan size?

    I imagine you have clearance issues on the engine side of the radiator? If so use two, 11 or 12 inch fans, put one fan on the engine side a puller and one offset on the other side of the radiator a pusher. Arrange fans so they cover the maximum radiator area. Forget the shrouds, install relay to...
