One more suggestion, keep the percentage of antifreeze to the absolute
minimum for your area. It only transfers about 70% of the heat that water
does...

Subject: [Healeys] Electric Cooling Fan

One of the problems of Gmail is that it takes all mail with the same subject
and puts them all together in one files. It becomes hard to thank all the
folks who contributed answers. THANKS!

It seems the universal answer is DON''T DO IT. I was still going to do it
until I got one final message that suggested alternate ways of cooling. That
gave me some alternatives and I canceled the order.

Some positive suggestions included adding an oil cooler, side baffles to
make sure all the air goes through the radiator, an anti freeze recovery
system, and something similar to an air dam. Dennis Welch suggested that all
I needed was their 5 blade cooling fan.Has anyone tried a Texas Cooler?

I'll try a couple of simple ones before I go for the oil cooler. Too bad
they wern't standard equipment in the late fifties and early sixtys. My 69
and 72 MGs have them and the BGT has no heating problems at all. The C tends
to overheat in 95+ degree weather on a turnpike, but cools off when I drop
the speed to 60.

So thanks again to you all for the latest (Ed take note, but your reminder
was appreciated), information on the cooling fan.
