Sorry guys, the first time I sent this out it had a
small picture on it. I guess the server didn't like that. I'm
reposting the info about my fans: Again you can see them at: http://www.dscf.org/temp/71/fan1.jpg
and http://www.dscf.org/temp/71/fan2.jpg
I went with the dual setup from Derale PN:
16928 and a new 4-row rad. I copied and pasted the specs from
the website (www.derale.com). Summit
sells these Derale fans. Just do a search on their website for the part
number. These fans work great so far, but the real test will be summer and
we haven't got there yet. I think 80 deg. is the hottest it's been so
far.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Yet another question: Electric Fan set
up versus Clutch Fan set up I'm going through this
right now on my 67. Here's what I decided.
A quality electric
fan will not be outperformed by any mechanical fan at idle / low RPMs,
and that's where we run into trouble, in my experience. The Spals are
good units, but I don't think that dual 11" setup is going to work for you
- you need a 31 inch radiator in order to mount it. I'm going with a
single 16" puller, myself.
You may need to upgrade
electrical components. I intend to do so anyway, and am still
researching...
Enjoy,
Bill
