I was messing w/ my car and I tested fans. One relay was not responding.

I have two completely independent fan systems and this is the third failure in about 10 years.

1. Fuse lost continuity; did not blow.
2. Unsealed relay failed; replaced both relays w/ sealed type.
3. Blown 20A fuse; will replace w/ 30A .

I yanked out the fan on pump side. I connected both independent switched relay wiring systems to front fan. May carry my spare OEM 5 blade 1979 mechanical fan in the trunk when I go on long trips. Not sure.

Sure looks sweet...all that space in front of pump...now i can see that expensive march pulley system.

From a practical perspective it would be wise to run the 5 blade mechanical fan. Would minimize underhood temps and likely increase reliability; at the expense of beauty.

wow ... that thread is one year old :-)
Since I got my cooling problem sorted I gave up on the idea

sorry
didn't think it was worth a new thread.

i'm really enjoying that new found space between radiator and pulley.

now I can easily turn engine w/ socket wrench.

thinking about swapping to a solid flat tappet cam.

tired of the typical hydraulic valve collapse w/ high spring rate cams resulting in ticking.

i do have a pic of my geometry which is so so.
