Does anyone have any data on the horsepower
draw with the standard pulley setup on the 1275
'A' engine?
I'm considering replacing the fan with a switchable
electric one run off a small auxillary battery. If anyone
has experience doing this I'd appreciate hearing about it
also.
Thanks,

I don't think that is worth the effort. Why would you need an auxillary
battery? What's wrong with the main battery? Oh... I know...you don't have an
alternator do you?
Just get a small alternator and a 2-bladed fan. You will not notice the
difference and you won't need to charge your battery all the time. Concentrate
on
driving well rather than trying to save a micro horsepower.
