Thread: Pusher or puller fan(s)????

Tweet

My 34 has a 10" pusher on the evaporator in front of the radiator and a spal 16" puller on the rear side of the rad. Temps run 180 - 200 even in 100 degree heat sitting in gridlock traffic. I know a lot of people who talk down on pushers but I have had very good luck with my set up. They are unquestionably noiser than a puller. Only change I might make would be to replace the Spal with a cooling components fax/shroud combo.

My 57 Olds just uses the blade that came with it and it does the job well regardless of heat and traffic.

Wish I could use the mechanical fan that is on the engine, unfortunately just not enough room....

Interesting that the pushers are noisier.....wonder why???? Oh well, looks like it's going to be a 16" puller with the thermostatic control and manual override, owner doesn't want an OEM takeout, guess I'll just order the Spal, looks like a quality unit????

Sure do appreciate the input and the assistance.,

Pushers aren't working for me and I have the same space issues.
I've been looking at this thing, but it's pricey.

now that is cool. But $420.00? Youch!

Just listening to Stephen Wolf - "God Damb the pusher man" gives this song a new meaning!

Evolvo; How thick is the fan set up on yours it looks nice and thin.
I've only got about 3.5 inches of clearance between the water
pump and the radiator. Thanks Kurt
