I just put dual pullers on my 68 and the meter barely gets past 1/4 off cold - and it functions correctly. Just gotta watch stray paper sucking up against the outside of the radiator. Pullers will sure hold it there. They work great ( in Texas) and were rigged up as dual connections in case one goes bad the other is still working. They say getting rid of the bolt on fan adds to hp as well. And the elimination of a spinning mass sure won't hurt the water pump feelings. Plus it looks cool ( pardon the pun) . It ain't always what ya do, it's sometimes how ya look while you're doing it.
