First, which pusher fan did you install (cfm rating) and do you have it
installed in proper direction? Second, did you get rid of the clutch on the
mech fan and install a spacer (about 2" or 2.5" to position mech fan
correctly in shroud)? If the answer to these questions is yes, than two
things: 1) check engine timing 2) check air/fuel mixture. Oops, almost
forgot, please be sure to check Tstat is opening allowing water to flow
properly and elec fan tstat should come on about 180deg, off at 160 to
start. If you want to suck motor fumes and watch your hood buckle and
crack, remove the gasket and hood insulation ;o)
