<p>Very nice job.</p>

</p>
<p>However I think that two fans of this size could be a bit of an
overkill but I cannot judge the effect of airco as I am not
familiar with that in old cars. You could try to completely remove
one fan (and block the space at the side of the radiator) and see
what happens. It would be a lighter load on the dynamo.</p>

I promised some photos of my modification and I apologize that
it took so long to find these and also to relearn how to load
them from iphoto. On the right is the assembly of the fans.They
are attached to the radiator core behind the cross bracing. Note
the added sheetmetal angle I used to land the tops of the cross
braces and the slight bend from the bottoms of the braces that
gave me an extra inch to work with. The shiny highlights toward
the outsides of the fan shrouds are the aluminum blanking plates
that close off the edges of the fans and direct all of the air
through the core.</div>

On the left is the finished assembly. The fans are
thermostatically controlled to come on when the coolant temp
reaches 195 F. They shut off when the temp drops to 185. They
will maintain 195 or below when idling in 100 F ambient temps at
5000 feet of altitude. Probably better at lower altitudes due to
higher air density. </div>

I am running a stock dynamo with a gel cell battery and so far
have not had a problem with power capacity. The fans are powered
through a relay and each is fused separately. The controller has
bypass wire that is normally attached to the AC system to power
the fans while it is running. I wired that in as a manual switch
leg, but have never used it.</div>

I had worried that the fans and shrouds ahead of the radiator
core would impede the flow of air while the car was moving. That
doesn't seem to be the case as the fans rarely come on while the
car is moving and then only when at lower speed and climbing.
The fans always come on after a run when the engine goes back to
idle and excess heat begins to soak out of the engine, but that
its normal.</div>

In the process I eliminated the mechanical fan from the engine

engine altogether these have reduced the power lost through the
(mostly ineffective) cast alloy fan and reduced engine
vibration.</div>

<div class="PlainText">Hard to quantify, or even confirm,

I would say yes, a little. Starting at about 10 degrees
lower gives me more<br>
headroom. The added volume of oil allows for, I am
assuming, a bit more<br>
dissipation of heat as well. That said, I still do all I
can to avoid<br>
freeway congestion when it is above 90; I prefer to use
surface streets<br>
where I can vary my route and at least have some recover
between stoplights.<br>
I also find that when stopped, running at about 1700-1800
rpm moves a lot<br>
more air (I have a 6-blade tropical fan) which helps buy
me more time. Or I<br>
avoid driving altogether under those conditions, as they
are not much fun on<br>
the driver either!<br>
