Clint,
Any idea where a guy might find one of these fans?

Since there's no chance of freeze damage,I would cut the antifreeze ratio
way back and run more water. Even better would be 100% distilled water
with
a bottle or two of Redline WaterWetter. If your car isn't all
original,chuck
the engine-driven fan and install a Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan set-up.
They practically fall on a Chevelle radiator and at 5,000cfm,will cool
just
about anything.

Krister, I would seriously consider a pusher electric fan and run it
anytime you run your A/C. 220 is not awful but it is bordering on too
hot. A pusher should pull that temp down at least ten degrees which
would be good for your engine and make the A/C more efficient. Also try
not to ever shut down a hot engine as the temp will just climb. I
believe the boiling point for 50/50 coolant is around 240. There are
other factors. It sounds like your system is doing what it should for
what you have. That additional fan will make everything much happier.
