Cooling

You guys spent my money well.
I finally got the Griffen radiator and dual Spal fans installed.
I had a 3/8NPT bung put in just below the input where I installed one of the new Perma-Cool electronic control sensors. I then wired it to ONE fan and set it about 185 degrees. The second fan I have on a switch.
Since today is my Ventura Sandwich Factory "Show, Eat & Go" we gave it a good test.
Started out in 65 degree weather up the 101 and wound up in 105 degree in Ojai. First fan only came on when we were stop and go thru town and I only had to kick the second fan on once when we got stopped by a train (a very slow one at that). Hottest it got was 190 degrees which is where my engine likes it. In addition, I never had to pull the window screen off which is in front of the radiator. Its held with two small pieces of velcro at the top and I can pull it off in about 6 seconds.
In addition to a great day, 10 Cobras on the run some of which had heating problems, I don't need to worry about temperature any more thanks to all you guys.
Humm - now the exhaust system

Man was that HOT but a great drive- thanks Paul for electronic protection

John, how can you tell while driveing whether your electric fan is on or off?

Most of the time I can hear it however, I'm going to put in a indicator light - just ran out of time Friday.
