- Does an electric fan work better than the 6-bladed yellow plastic fan?? I currently have the old 4-bladed steel fan and was going to replace it with the plastic one... Summer temperatures up here sit

- You can shoehorn an electric fan behind the rad of a Spridget if you use a Spitfidget radiator cowl. Since most electric fans have a built in shroud, you can probably expect better cooling from them.

- IMHO, yes it does. I feel that the original setup worked fine on the original drivetrain in England. If your engine is a bit hotter than stock and/or you live in a hotter/dryer climate than Merry Ol

- I change my bugeye over from the 4-blade steel fan to the plastic blade. There was a definite improvement in cooling. The plastic fan moves more air for several reasons. 1) the profile of the blades

- The six-bladed plastic fan (BTDT) blades have a greater angle of attack (AOA) than the steel fans and thus produce far more airflow at similar rpms, and most especially in the lower range wherein one

- If you go the electric puller fan route, remember that thickness of the fan is CRITICAL. Even with the 1500 shroud there is only enough room for a slim fan. I have just finished carving my fan to fi

- DO NOT use the Mini fan!!! Someone else on one of the lists used one, AEJ I believe, and found out it was a pusher, not a puller. Tends to make ones car overheat. YMMV, but I doubt it.

- To all who replied... Thank you very much. I have the down flow radiator with the massive fan shroud. So, thanks to your input(s), I have decided that when the time comes I will replace the 4-bladed

- I have found that a pusher fan is useless, and actually makes the car run hotter. A good radiator and a six-bladed plastic fan solved my problem. Bud Whitey - 1275 Street Bugeye SilverStreak - 1275 R
