As I was motorvatin' over the road I wound her up to 6500.......well, the stock '57 4 blade fan pulled the w.p. fan hub forward on the shaft and the fan lunched the radiator. Nice.
So, I have a '69 6 blade clutch fan I'm thinking of using the next time around and my question is should I go with a non thermal type clutch? My thinking is that these spin around 1800 rpm max regardless of engine speed, so there wll be less drag and pull than a thermal type when it locks up? What do you guys think?
(The stock fan, electric fan or a flex fan are out of the question)
FYI: Always mic the shafts and hubs on w.p. re-building kits! I learned an expensive lesson!
