[Healeys] electric fan

[BJ8 Healeys]

I have no idea, Ron.  I took my stock radiator to North Raleigh Radiator and
they installed the new core.  The fins are smaller and there are more of
them, and that's easy to see by comparison with the stock core.  The shop
said there are also more tubes, but I didn't count them and didn't ask how
many.  I do know it fixed my overheating problem that had existed for close
to 25 years in spite of an engine rebuild and thorough cleaning of the
coolant passages 13 years ago.  One of Moss's 6-bladed fans threw a couple
blades and damaged my original radiator so Moss had replaced it with another
stock radiator in 1996.  Nothing helped until I had the new core installed
and also a sleeved 180-deg. thermostat.  That keeps my car at 190 when it
used to run at 215-220 in the summer at cruise.
