I have electric fans on my El Camino and Chevelle (they're both big block cars). The Elky has a rad/fan setup from Ron Davis Racing. The fans are 12" Spals and I have them wired up with MAD Electric relays. The temp sensor that turns the fans on/off is mounted in the intake next to the water neck and I also have a manual override switch under the dash. The Chevelle is the same setup as the Elky except the rad is from Northern and the fans are 10" Spals but that's ok because the Chevelle doesn't have A/C like the Elky. To date, neither car has ever overheated in traffic, on the highway or anyplace in between. You can see pictures here: http://www.fquick.com/Yelcamino Herb

What I am looking for what other people are doing that do have electric fans. Sensor probe in Radiator VS Temp. Sensor in Manifold VS Temp Sensor in Heads (working around headers) also if anyone uses the Variable Speed Controllers offered by SPAL and other companies that would control the seperately Dual Fan setups based on Temp. What I would really like to know if anyone has the Temp gauge in the manifold if they experience the 15 degree variance that Ron Francis Wiring states on their webpage. I know if you wrap the sending unit in teflon tape you will get a soft reading. Just wanted to know of everyone's setup. Thanks again
