I doubt if there is a RPM limit on his serpentine system, but I use a smaller fan on my Cling system because I think his draws too much horsepower and that much air isn't needed. Model A's have a small crank pulley so don't turn their fan or water pump as fast as other engines anyway.
Thanks Jim,

For WIW, I was contacted by a 4E4 friend who advised that the CORRECT PHONE # for CLING…. is: 480) 782-0266.

Thanks for all your help.
