Re: mechanical fan woes

After reading an article in Hot Rod or Street Rodder about fan issues - go with electric!! I had a situation that fan on 56 I am working on sat low too. Not as low as yours but did go in the lower tank area. That creates a different flow than straight thru radiator fins - and can cause a lot of fan failures - that is what the article was all about. Will actually bend the blades at higher speeds. Makes sense when you really think about it so go with a good electric fan and get the relay / temp sensor kit too.
