i put a mechanical fan in my car because i got sick of the electrical ones not working properly and things like that, my car is a 89 and i was wondering if any one knows how to make one or if you can buy a fan shroud to fit a 17.5" fan also wondering if any one has any pics of the air dam under the car because my car doesn't have one and i was just wondering what to look for, and if you have any other tricks to keep it cool at low speeds would be great, thanks alot

 

the stock shrouds from most '82-85 v8 firebirds use a
17.5 fan,same years camaro uses 18.5" fan.
might have to use different upper radiator hose.
don't forget '88 -up is reverse rotation W/P

 

do you know if there is a way to test to see if it spins the right way with out taking the pump off the block? because when i rebuilt the motor i just bought one and it might have been off a truck i cant remember though.

 

On standard rotation water pumps,the hub is meant to
rotate clockwise from the front-if car still has original
serpentine belt setup it will have reverse rotation W/P
on original GM pumps the hub dolt pattern is different
so the different style pulleys will not bolt onto a wrong
rotation W/P without modification
