[Healeys] Replacement Radiator Fan

FWIW, I drove back from Va Beach area to Pittsburgh Sunday ~ 97 degree temp.  when I got to Richmond Va, and got on I95, it was bumper to bumper stop and go most of the way to Fredricksburg (~55 miles).  I have a steel 6 bladed fan on my BJ8 and the car never got over 212.  She ran like a champ.  Then when I got to Breezewood, the sky opened up and it poured down.  This was after dark on the Pa Tpk and it was a bit nerve racking.  The little BJ8 just purred along at 65, wipers flapping wildly, while letting the super fast 18 wheelers go right on by.  I must admit though that I felt a lot better when I reached my exit from the Tpk to more calm roads!

These are amazing cars though---and----I had very few water leaks in the pour down, which was a pleasant surprise for me.

One thing I learned---the drivers in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas are much friendlier and saner drivers than those in the Va Beach and I95 areas.  I've never seen so many go so fast with such attitudes in a long while.  It was good to get back to easy-going Pittsburgh.
