[Healeys] Replacement Radiator Fan

[Leonard Hartnett]

Tom:  Assuming you have normal hearing, if you want to hear how noisy your 
fan is, take it off and run without it for a while.

I was able to do this while stationed in England (someone told me I could 
gain as much as 10 HP by removing it).  As long as I was able to attain 40 
MPH, enough cool air passed through the radiator to avoid overheating even 
without a fan installed.
that's not possible here in California in the Sacramento Valley area, of 
course.

I eventually installed a Hayden 7 bladed (metal) flex fan.  It is noisy but 
it pulls gobs of air.

Bob may have been joking but, from experience, have you had your hearing 
tested lately?  I didn't realize how many sounds I was missing until I got 
my hearing aids.
