    >---trying to decide fan wise what I should run on my Comet. radiator is being rodded out, decide to do that since well what I thought was overheating was not. I forgot to do the 2nd click on the radiator cap and got a temperature spike.

    so electric fan or not? I have a 16x20 3 row radiator, nice brass on in perfect shape.
    if not can i find a clutch for the fan that fits?
    if not also I have no fan shored (sp?) so its SCARY!!! fan is in PERFECT shape and is an original one.

    The Bay is expensive, when I was in Redding, CA it cost $70 and that also included boiling out.

    I live in the santa cruz mountains (bay area) and my 2200 sqft house is worth 650K if someone bought it now.

    I should have one.. I try and dig it up for when I finnished up this weekend, then I'll post the pics, I'm already in love with the way I did it.. May not be the best way...maybe I should have went with a underhood new style fuse panel when I rewired the inside..but I like what I did, I can live with it. Couldn't live with the huge bundle of wires though :)
