like i said, its only 3 wires, i have been doing electrical for A LONG time, but like everybody,i dont know everything.As long as it helps somebody else later,thats all that matters67Dylan said:The wire colors weren't mentioned, nor did we ask about them. I feel bad cause it wasn't covered and we could've saved him time & money. I'm sorry about that Iskwezm. But at least someone was paying attention (Baskin)
Steve69 said:That is the reason I bought the DC controller. Its a Varible switch
so your not run the electric fan full power until it clicks off. Know I
had a Blue Black and Brown wire on my Taurus fan. On mine Brown was
low speed and Blue was high Speed.
baskin said:Zirgo says their fans only draw about 7 1/2 amps, so you don't need the relay, I hate to tell you this, but I think their ratings are pretty much fictional, you can't flow that level of cfm at that current level with any reasonable sized blade, don't take that personally, I'm just telling you what I've found. You would need the relay on the Taurus fan though
I don't know why Spal did it that way, but it always starts at full speed and then drops off, so it helps on the overall draw, but not on the current spikes. It's still a decent controller, but ny time you add the relay and temp sensor, the price goes up quite a bit.
It should be covered for all else to know.. he did mention the wire colors to me over a phone call, But even I dont rermember all these things unless its written down in front of me. I'll be poking around my car tommorw so Ill take note of the fan number and wire colors. I have another car that has the dcc with a custom built billet shroud that uses the tauras fan motor and blade that Im gonna take some pics of.67Dylan said:The wire colors weren't mentioned, nor did we ask about them.

hmmm, I had the brown/orange as high. i wonder if it was or will work better when i get the new onefastback brian said:My fan is the F4DH--CB. There are three wires, ground is the black wire, low is the brown/orange wire and high speed is the brown/yellow wire. The brown wires are the top and middle wires with the black the bottom wire........
still waiting for the new motor, think i got took on Ebay.bad68coupe said:so what is the conclusion, how well does the taurus fan work, what should one look out for when installing one, is it worth it? just wondering, thanks:SNSign:

67Dylan said:If you need max cooling and can afford to upgrade the alt at the same time, then either the Mark VIII fan or the Taurus fan is your BEST bet, bar none. If you can foot an extra 120$ or so, then buy the DC Controller; if you can't/won't then a 75A relay, a fuse, a swtich, and the correct size wire (from a welding supply store) will work.
I've been a firm believer of this since 2000 when I put in my first Mark VIII in a 90 coupe. Doing the same to my 65 and would recmnd it to anyone who will listen.
Just my 2 cents....
67Dylan said:Standard welding wire. It comes in all gauges, is black, hundreds of strands, and double insultated. Also, get the lug ends when you are there; they are copper and need to be either hammered or use a vise to squeeze them on. I finish it off w/some shrink tube (both red and black) to make it look more 'complete'.
