Cant tell exactly cuz the Speedo isn’t working but also haven’t really taken it out more than just around the neighborhood out of fear of messing something up
Yeah that’s what’s up next for replacement. Any recommendations for good electric fans for relatively cheap? Are fan shrouds necessary or just the fans? Btw I’m out in Arizona with an average temp of 101 most days currently so that’s probably a contributing factor.
Problem with electric fans is that any fan worth anything will draw at least 20A and the stock 5M alternator isn't very oversized stock. And yes you want a shroud if you want the fan to work correctly. Not the prettiest solution, but on a budget Ford Contour fans are a decent choice. You can get them at the junkyard or there are new aftermarket ones around $100.

UPDATE
Took the radiator out and got it Rodded out at a shop readjusted the fans and replaced the intake hose which seems to have solved most of the problems. Car will idle consistently now which is very nice plus in the shade it will maintain around 205-215 at idle. Still gets up towards 225-230 after about 20 minutes of neighborhood driving at which point I’ll take it inside out of fear of blowing something. Part of this may be due to the weather as it’s been consistently 100-110 here in Arizona recently. Any thoughts?
