electric fan question
My electric fan just died...It is a single fan in a 91 rs. I put a mildly built 355 in the car so I want to get a fan setup that will keep it cool. Anyone know a setup that I can go with that fits right in? Could someone give me a link or tell me what I need to buy? Thanks...Jake

Ill try to elaborate a little better than BOTTLEDZr28.
Check out Flex-a-lite.com if you can. I have put their dual fan setup in my truck, the variable speed controller included with it, and another controller identical to it in my camaro.
I forget the model number for the 3rd gen camaros, but they offer a dual fan setup that bolts right in for around 350 bucks. Comes with the controller. I think it flows around 5000cfm.
The controller is an interesting setup. You hook the controller to the batter, and the fans to the controller. You then run a temperature prob through the radiator fins so it can get an accurate reading. Once the controller detects whatever temp you have it setup (in both of my cars, 195 degrees) the fans will come on at 60 percent speed. Usually that is plenty air flow. But if the waterpump continues to just flow coolant and the radiator temp rises, the controller will turn the fans over at 100 percent for extra cooling.
It also has a feature to where you can wire in the AC so that when you turn on the AC, the fans come on at 60 percent to cool condensor.
