General Discussion / Re: 1969 Camaro Big Block Radiator/Electric Fan Suggestions?

« on: February 26, 2007, 09:13:11 PM »

My only input is to make sure  you get and adjustable thermostat , I have a small block  with a four core radiator, and I was having problems with the fan not shutting off , I can see turning on around 205 degrees and it was supposed to shutt off around 160, well it never got to that point and the fan was constantly stayin on, don`t forget you will also going to need a 50amps relay and a breaker another suggestion is to run an led light,  run it from the positive side of the fan wire to the plus side of the led light to ground, so everytime the fun turns on the light will turn on and off went it shutts down, you can monitor this with your water temp. Normally it will turn on around 200 to 210 degrees and should shutt down around 180, Also keep in my some of this fun are very noisy, my sounds like a blower. hope this will help a little.

I noticed that glass packs are making a big come back , I though they were elegal. I had always like the noise that they make but -living  in Ma. they became elegal in the late 80`s. Are this new glass packs different? do they still make the same loud noise or should I just stay with my flowmaster
