RE: [Chevelle-List] Which Spal Pusher Fan for 67 SS

[Craig A. Ellis]

Oh yeah. Clutch fan. It'll sit in traffic without trouble. On a super hot day it'll creep up to 190 if I leave it idling with the AC on - like in a bumpertobumper traffic jam. I've been real pleased with it. Only complaint is no overflow can so I bought a nifty chrome billet alum one from Weapon-R that I'm gonna try to install this weekend.

Allot depends on motor combination and age of motor, Aluminum heads, wild cam  etc.... . Craig your are a lucky man to have a big block hold that temp with copper rad... I wasn't able to do it. So I went Alum. No problems since.  Do you have a clutch fan?

My system has a four core copper rad with 7 blade fan. 180 all the time.

take the clutch fan off and get a flex fan. My car idles in traffic at 180 190 on a 105 deg day and I have to put thermostat in to warm up enough for the blower .highway temp 160.

I have upgraded my cooling system with a new aluminum radiator, water pump, fan clutch and shroud. Has gone from 230 plus at idle to a steady 210 with 180 degrees on the road.

I want to add a Spal Pusher fan. My question is which one ?

Do I go with the Spal 16 inch pushing 1920 CFM with 17.4 amps, or go with the

Spal 16 inch pushing 2360 CFM at 21.6 amps.

I have the original alternator in the 67 Chevelle SS. I do not have a stereo, AC, or power supplies. Will I have to upgrade the alternator.

Note:  We conducted a test. With the 67 SS idling for 30 minutes it went up to

210 but stayed there. We used a floor fan pusing air through the radiator and it dropped to 185 degrees.

Comments please.

Thanks,

Ken McDee
