Re: [Chevelle-List] Q: Electric fan!
Ooh, I like! If my 2800 CFM Black Magic can't handle the task for my Corvette, this really looks like the ticket, assuming it will fit the '63-'67 radiator. 4600 CFM should be able to handle anything you could install under a Chevelle hood. At 16-28 Amps, you better make sure your alternator can handle the extra juice, and that your wallet is ready for the $370 or so that this will cost.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Q: Electric fan!
Well,then I'll just wait till you get your new set-up installed and buy your old one. Either that or buy the Ron Davis set-up. I've used their alum radiators in both my ZR-1's and they worked well.

Hi Pelle, I have a pair of 12" Spal fans, part number 30100176, and they do a wonderful job keeping my 454 cool. They aren't cheap at $150 or so each. I'm using a relay with a thermostatic switch and I also have a toggle switch under the dash to override the thermo switch when the A/C is running.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Q: Electric fan!
I have dual Spal electric fans, 11" i think. They are turned on by a temp switch at 185 degrees the car has yet to go over 190 this is with a new 502 with 300 miles on it. So far 96 is the warmest day we have driven it. They come with relays, i have a switch on the dash to turn them off but not manually on. I'm sure there are lots of good fans out there but these things have suprised me with how well they work.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Q: Electric fan!
Title: Message If you can get a thermostat to control it, even better. I have a Flex-a-Lite Black Magic fan kit with the thermostat so I can make it come on at any (reasonable) temperature I want. If Andre's fans will work for you (since you may have better access to them), you should still be able to use an outside thermostat and relay (as Mikey said) to control it. Some people like to have a switch they control in the car so they can turn the fan on early (like if they know they will be sitting for a while).

Re: [Chevelle-List] Q: Electric fan!
I guess the main thing I would say is make sure you wire it up with a relay. Funny how often I see one without.
