Default Re: Ronning 8BA style distributor on 59A

Binx, I may only get 30,000 miles out of a fan versus 50K.

Ralph, initially I am going to run an electric fan. However, I have been looking at it and I think that I may be able to go with a '48 fan set up with some mods to the back of the fan bracket. I don't see any reason why I could not run the fan on the alternator, stock '36 style, either.

My tensioner bracket will mount only off of the alternator slingshot bracket. I'll try to get a picture today of it versus trying to explain it all. This is my prototype and I have already figured out some enhancements I can make. I may go broke buying alternator brackets as I engineer this.
