My 76 had a 4 blade fan from the factory and squealed after the belts aged and stretched. Replaced it with a hayden fan and clutch and never squealed again. Ran the same setup on my 355 in my Nova at 6000 rpm. Simple and no extra wiring and parts.
Ok.I think any 1995 to 2006 will work. I believe someone mentioned the 4cyl models were higher output. I believe mine were from a 2000 Plymouth Breeze 4 cyl, the same car.
Ok. I will check my setup again. Maybe I missed somethingThat little 4 blade may be heavier than the finger slicer you took off, but I can guarantee it's lighter than a factory 5 or 6 blade and clutch assembly. Ima say weight's not the problem.
It's tight. I even put a better brand of belt on. I had a flex fan that was broken and never squealed. I put on this better but heavier fan on and it squeals
Yes and make sure all spacers are in place on all the accessories. Check with a straight edge. There are 4 water pumps lengths for the Olds V8, wreaks havoc on accessories if the wrong one was used. Tighten the power steering and A/C very tight. The alternator is one to be more careful with. I have toasted the bearings from over tightening. Still only minor only minor slack on it. Like I said double check the tightness, all the Dayco Napa and Gates belts I have bought all needed 3 to 4 retightenings due to stretch.make sure the pulleys are clean and not worn
A big two core is a good idea. I plan adding the GN flaps to smarten up my 88 when the 350 goes back in.I would have had an aluminum radiator in there by now, anyway. It provided the biggest drop on my Olds.
