Fan? Options for a '38 "60" with Evans Manifold
The Evans dual carb manifold has evenly placed carbs over the porting and no provision for generator / fan. Off-setting the gen is not very difficult. I think a Delco 6V Pos Grd. converted alternator would be an OK choice and a guy makes a nice looking set of brackets to accomplish that (sold on ebay but a bit pricey at buck n a quarter). But I'm wondering if others have tackled this problem and have some solutions for a fan mount. I'd rather not put a cheap plasticcy looking 12V hot rod electric fan on the car. Would like to retain the stock 6V elecs keep the car as stock as possible. So what was the fan solution if it was still 1955? 1938 82A V8 - 60 coupe.

Just a side note (you can tell I'm an electric radiator fan user) .... they do make electric radiator fans that use 6 volts. Compared to 12 volt fans, they draw more amperes to achieve the same rpm. Regardless of voltage, an alternator is a good combo with an elec fan.

As noted, I have 12 volt system. I have a 16 inch 16 amp Imperial 2800 cfm which comes mounted in a shroud that attaches direct to radiator. The fan has curved blades which are quieter than straight blade fans. Straight blades do move more air but noisier. Made by company in TX (good tech department). Bought it on-line at Advanced Auto site for around $65. Auto controller kit with relay was about $32. Works very well for me.
