Cool Runnings

I bought an Old Air electric fan kit to replace the Flexlite mechanical fan blades. I hope to pick up some hp, and the Flexlite fan can chop some fingers off (or worse) if you are not paying attention. This particular kit was arranged for the classic Mustang and looks good.





The installation is only 3 wires (for no AC), and the fan itself installs with the 4 existing radiator bolts. AC systems require another inexpensive harness.





There's a temp probe that's inserted into the radiator fins to measure temperature and control an adjustable on/off switch for the fan. (The harness for the AC cars causes the fan to engage whenever the AC is on too.)





I also like that the fan shroud is fully integrated into the unit. You can find this fan for about $250 if you shop around.
