I just spent the last 2 days trying to get my '49 8ba in my F-1 to run cooler, I tried everything u folks said to do .... I treated w/evaporust and it came out nice and clean, I installed new 160* stats, I replaced the fan w/ the stock 4 blade truck fan, the belts r to spec 1/2'' deflection...

This is a '49 wide belt, the blade is approx 2"wide & the end/top of blade comes to a point, the truck fan is approx. 3 " wide & is blunt/flat @ the top/end.

Does the fan used in the trucks [ wide ] move more air then the one used in cars [thin & pointed]? my '49 F-1 239 has the latter, should I change as I overheat :confused::confused:

what size would make any difference ??
