Re: Electric Fan

["" <greenman62@hotmail.com>]

Gents,

   I won't get in to the discussion about which takes more horsepower
   mechanical or electric fans. what I will talk about is the
   improvement in overall engine smoothness I ejoyed with the
   substitution of an electric fan for my TR4.

   My `4 is not exactly stock but over the last year since the new cam
   went in I found the old fan and extension were causing a modicum of
   vibration at higher RPMs (4-5K). I opted to go with a harmonic
   balancer (supplied by BFE). The problem then became finding a fam
   that would "do the job". After the best 13" OTC fan I could find
   locally failed to keep my 4 cool enough on the hot days (soemthing
   that never happended with the mechanical fan), I fainally bought a
   Perma Cool 14" fan from Summit racing.  I set the fan up as the
   photos show. So far everthing is working out very well. The only mods
   I made to the stock radiator is on the frame mounts. I had to tilt
   the radiator forward about 3/4".

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
