Vette(s): 74 coupe 4 speed 350, 54K actual miles, all original; paint, interior, engine, split bumper. #'s match. 2nd owner, no stress cracks.
I am puting in a new radiator in my 74.  Has anybody used the Summit "value" 17 inch Flexlite Airflow fan instead of the stock clutch fan?  How does it work?  Any suggestions?  Thanks.....

They make lots of noise....but they cool OK, I suppose. I personally prefer the fan-clutch set-up. Takes a little less power from the anemic(L-48) engine to turn it!

Dang an I was pretty sure that ol Tux was a wantin one fer Christmas this year. Thought it would be a fair match fer that new chrome waterpump.

Probally not Terry with that SSAAWWEETT motor rumbling under the hood. It's enough to make a person    GREEN with envy!
