Aluminum Radiator

I see you are using a Procomp controler. Is the 14" fan also a Procomp?

[So Cal Mark]

yes it is

[kensmith]

Does the probe for the controler lay alongside the tank? Would it work for a stock radiator? Thanks!

[So Cal Mark]

the probe can be inserted into the fins or attached to a hose. The reason we've been attaching to the rad support at the upper left corner is so the probe can be inserted into the fins in the upper left corner of the rad (that's the hottest spot in the radiator)

Did you upgrade the stock 16 amp fuse to a 30-40 amp?

[So Cal Mark]

no, but I believe the best course of action is to use a relay, so the original circuit merely powers the relay

I've always used a relay but also a 40 amp fuse between the power source and the relay.

Any news on when a "kit" will be available? I'm in no rush but I want to get it into my budget.

Thank you!

[So Cal Mark]

I'm in the process of adding new items to my site and this one should be up soon

[kensmith]

Did you have a wiring diagram to wire the fan utilizing the controller, fan connectors, relay, and power source? I watched the video but there wasn't anything about wiring. Thanks

[So Cal Mark]

we used the existing wiring to the fan. The controller replaces the oem fan switch in the radiator

So I am guessing there is already a relay on the stock fan? What about fuses, did you upgrade the fuse to handle the higher amperage? That 14" fan should draw more amps than the smaller stock fan? I would worry you might start blowing fuses? I am not very good with electrical but I know these older cars with older outdated fuses can cause problems with newer electrical components. Maybe the stock setup is just fine but I would worry unless you are sure there should not be an issue.

Nobody has any experience with aftermarket fans and electrical issues? Plug and play?

the new fans draw less amps than the stock fan

the new fans draw less amps than the stock fan

So no need to change anything. Remove the old, install the new, use the existing old fan wires for the new fan and done. That sounds too easy but I will try it. Thanks!
