Doc,
Interesting idea about the auxillary fan. I just relaced the 4 blade fan on
my Gremlin with a 7 blade. It helped, but I want it cooler. Where would you
install the fan? It it always on, or does it have a thermostat?

Well
the grill resto is almost done, I will tac it off and spray the
semi-gloss
over the whole thing tomorrow. Damn torrential rain has put
me 2 days
behind again. With A/C in a 74 Hornet due to the condenser and
the vertical
bracket in the middle of the grill that mounts the hood
latch there is
almost no clearance for an auxiliary electric fan. I
found one that is
8"X8"X 2 1/4" deep that should clear everything on the
pass side of the car
leaving the drivers side for an auxiliary tranny
oil cooler. The 8"X8" fan
may not seem like much but anything will help
in the summer with the A/C
on. My bought new 74 Hornet ran hot when new
in the summer with the A/C on.
Eliminating the tranny cooler in the
bottom of the radiator with an
external auxiliary one and a 2 quart
added capacity tranny oil pan should
help lower the heat along with a
nice billet over flow tank.
