Default fan

I wired the fan on the high setting only and to a toggle switch with a relay. It is not tied into an automatic thermostat but might if I ever get around to it. I just keep an eye on the temp guage when sitting in traffic and bump the switch on if i see it creeping up. The 18" fan works awesome. I had to do some trimming on the shroud with a sabre saw but looks sweet !! The fan blades are only about 3/4" from the radiator fins. It had to be this tight because otherwise it would interfere with the rack & pinion steering.
I had the idea of using this fan from a wrecked 97 T-bird because the V-8 Ford T-bird would always sit in traffic with air conditioning on and never overheat??? I thought damm, why not try it on the cobra ! The results were very surprising and cost nothing.
