<VV> Electric fanz

[Ewell Mills]

For those of you that are worried about the current draw using an electric fan for cooling the engine would panic if you could see my set up.  I have a 67 Monza 110/4 spd. with A/C where I have installed the condenser in the right rear fenderwell.  (I definitely do not recommend doing this, but that is another story, which I plan to remedy eventually).  I currently run two 11" high volume puller fans under the condenser (parallel flow 14" X 22") and a 14" pusher on the engine side of it, and it still does not work worth a hoot down here in Florida in the middle of the summer. (Does not add heat to my engine as factory types do though).  I do not know what my alternator is rated at, (was on the car when I bought it) but it is a one wire internally regulated unit.  I manage to get 13 volts out with the A/C on. (Which also includes current draw for the compressor clutch (Sanden compressor) Fast idle Solenoid, and A/C blower motor. (Also 4 relays to power various things and protect switches). Haven't tried it with the lights on yet, since I almost never use it at night.  It might go up in smoke. I'll report back should that happen.  Electric fan for cooling the engine may or may not work....I'm staying out of that thread, but current draw by the one electric fan should not be a part of the issue.
