Why don't you put the Lincoln Mk8 fan in the car???pull too many amps???
The "add four gauge" rule is the way you do it with Fusible Links -- I just read a couple of articles on that. Some of them also encourage the use of FLs for fans because of the high initial draw when they come on. Coupled with the fact that they are going on and off all the time they tend to wear out fuse holders (like what I was using). Aside from that, my cooling system works beautifully. It would seem that a FL would be the perfect solution. Sooner or later Bob P. will quit sunning himself in the backyard and post an answer....
