I know this has been done more times than not, but I need to understand why electric radiator fans are bad. I have a Rambler American with an overbuilt AMC 401. Only running an electric fan with an electric water pump. It cools fine, but only drive it a few miles to shows and the track occasionally.
I’d like to run a couple pusher fans on the front of the radiator and leave the clutch fan behind the radiator. Everyone on here pretty much say electric fans don’t work, but no one says why.
On another note, Has anybody used Water Wetter or Royal Purple Ice to there coolant systems? I’ve used it in performance vehicles with good results. 15 to 20 degrees drop in temperatures
