And with a toggle switch, it is very simple to install and use only when needed (like at the track) <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Cstang50</b> <br /><small>Member # 4925</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,2,1,8,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 68dustin:<br /><strong> I have a 68 stang with a ford 6 bladed fan not flex.

The advantage of a flex fan is that the blade flatens out as RPM increases, the disadvantage is that they are really noisy and f-in sharp as hell(be real careful installing one). If you wanna stick with a mechanical fan go for a fixed blade with a clutch.

My bro has a perma cool on his '68 works pretty good. Get one that covers as much of the radiator as possible. <a href="http://www.perma-cool.com/Catalog/Cat_page16.html" target="_blank">http://www.perma-cool.com/Catalog/Cat_page16.html</a><br /><br />I think he bought the 16" but you'll want to measure for your car. Make sure the rest of the cooling system is in good shape too bolting on a new fan isnt a cure all. Hope this helps! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
