electric fan
 

Hi everyone,
The fan clutch on my 90 lx 5.0 froze up, so I wanted to put an electric fan on it. I want to go with the Perma-Cool electric fan from summit, part #PRM-19115. Does anyone know if this will just bolt straight up to the original radiator and still fit in the shrowd? Thanks in advance.

I suggest you look into a Black Magic fan before cutting or trying to make something fit.I also would suggest you look into geting an aluminum radiator as well.I installed a new Rad and BM fan and it was a snap.Maybe about 2 hours.The BM comes from the manufacturer ready for your Pony.They are about $199 and the Rad is about $250.

SN95 fan
 

The SN95 fan pulls way more than the Black magic fans and is a better product IMO.

It has two speeds and the shroud bolts directly to the radiator on top and needs minor sheet metal work to fit securely on the bottom.

Re: SN95 fan
 

How did you installed it. With a switch in the car or is there's a module we can get to make it start automatically.

SN 95 hookup
 

You can hook it up either via a manual switch which creates two options in itself:
1) a single high amp switch which manually activates the fan at whichever speed you have wired up.
2) two switches or a single three postion switch which allows you to select off, slow speed, or high speed.

or: you can attach a thermostatically activated switch to the circuit automatically triggering the fan if you have a habit of forgetting to throw the switch on when you start the car.

The SN 95 pulls a lot of amps so I recommend a 130 amp alternator and no underdrives. But it is a very nice and extremely quiet.

I got all of the parts from NAPA, the hardest thing to find was a high amp switch b/c I chose to not wire in a step-down for simplicity.

I got the fan from Racer Walsh here in Jacksonville, $200, and I got the fan plug from a junkyard for 2 bucks and used it to make the wiring look nice. Other than that, it's just wire, a switch, and a in-line fuse. I wired only the high speed connection so it pulls some amps at idle but I have a Powermaster, so it's cool.

Thanks for help.

I'll take a look at my salvage yard and see what it have to show me. This place is really a gold mine.
