Goathead,
What kind of electric fans are those? Where did you get them and how much? Could I get a similar setup for my 66 GTO? That setup looks so sweet with the Rodney Red. What temp you usually run at with that setup? What thermostat you use? 180? Thanks! [email protected]

I bought a '95 Ford Windstar dual electric fan set up in the local wrecking yard. With the exception on blowing one fuse and getting up to 212°F, I have not seen it above 187°F on the street in 95°F. I reached 202°F racing at the Grove at the T-N-T, but it came right back down.
I also upgraded to a 94 amp alternator. I run separate wires to each fan and each one has a separate 30 amp relay and 30 amp inline fuse. Use 10 ga. wire with a 30 amp circuit. I have a 170°F thermal fan switch that I got in a kit from Summit. The fan switch has 1/2" NPT threads and screws right into the head. I don't like the type of sensors that sense the air temperature at the radiator. I want to know what the water temperature in the motor is. Vance, I ran the hot leads directly from the battery to the relay, is this bad? [img]ftp://members.aol.com/gr8one68/gr8one68.jpg[/img]

I've modified a pair of 97 TA LT1 electric fans to fit my aluminum radiator. The darn thing stays at 190 and won't move any higher. I'm also using a thermal switch and relay setup made by hayden. If you look at the pics you can see the brackets and sensor fitting I had to weld in to accomodate the fans. I've posted some pics of the install here.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
