Hi Guys

A couple of questions for you. I have my ford Taurus fan installed in my
69 Mustang. Its installed on the engine side of radiator. Do I hook up the
wires so its pulling air through the raditor or pushing it through?

Second Question. Im waiting for the the cotroller that I ordered thru
DC Controllers so Im sitting. My brother in law is comming over and I
wanted to give him a ride in the Stang. It would be all Hwy speeds
55 mph and above. Would I be alright not running any type of Fan at
hwy speeds. Im not going far. Just around the 3 mile block.

Thanks
Steve

If on the engine side, have the fan set to pull air through radiator.

Taurus fans are not made to be run as a pusher. It will only last as a puller.

Besides pullers are less effective.

If you are going at highway speeds you should be OK... just make sure you have some type of fan on there as no fan will be a problem.

My bet is that it will overheat. Overheating might occur during the time required to achieve highway speeds and after slowing...at least that's what I think...

I think you meant pushers are less effective.
