    Which electric fan?

    I have a M20 with a radiator from an AC car and have the Aux fan zip tied to my radiator right now but it is not wired. I have been looking on summit. But what fan do I get and from where? I have the 75 degree thermostat and ordered the 82? temp switch from pelican which is in the mail. I want to get a different fan and fan install kit. I Don't want to learn the hard way. Help please

    The aux fan should measure 16" and Spal fans seem to be popular with people that convert from clutch fan to electric.

      Don't try to mount a fan directly to the radiator fin tubes. In time those mounts will wear a hole in a fin tube and you'll have to replace the radiator.

      In cooler climates a 16" fan rated for 1800cfm will suffice if the car doesn't have A/C. If it does or the car is located in a warmer climate, go with a 16" fan rated for 2300-2400cfm.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
