I have not used one of these, but would like to know what are the good ones that folks are using?
What would you recommend?, Or, Have had good luck with?
I'm going to install one in front of an AC condenser & wire it
thru a relay so that it turns on only with the AC.

Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,
I am using a pusher fan from Summit Racing.
9" Fan: SPU-IX-30100381
wiring kit: SPU-IX--185FH


It has been working fine for me. I only have a couple hundred miles on the car (37) so can't speak to its long term reliability.

Kind of an old experience, but when I built my '40 I used one from, I think,"The Fan Man". It lasted 3-4 years and the bearing went out. I put a Spal on and it lasted the 15+ years I kept the car. It had a "whine" to it, though.

My '38 has a Cooling Components fan on it and I really like it. It is built into a shroud and is quiet, but wouldn't work for a pusher.
 
You might give Lee at BrassWorks a call. He was very helpful when I had questions about fans when I was considering an electric pusher fan on the radiator he built for me. He's in Paso Robles so depending on where you are in NorCal he might not be that far away from you.
 
I prefer a "puller" and have used the Cooling Components unit with the built in shroud. They work great.
 
I have a 12 inch pusher thru temp sensor but also thru a switch so I can turn it on if I want. It works really well. I got mine at the Nationals in Louisville a couple years ago.
 
I’m using a Flexalite Black Magic puller fan that has a shroud to cool a 392 Hemi. When the car is in heavy slow and go traffic and the fan kicks on it will drop the water temp from 200* to 180* in less than one minute. Very efficient.
