I don't really like the whirl sound of a flex fan but I didn't know they worked so good.It would seem like a 17A fan would be plenty on an old alt.with a clutch fan too.----- Original Message -----

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.

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

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
