Default Anyone running a 16 inch Spal fan??

My 71 has the small aluminum radiator, and I was thinking of converting to an electric fan. I was looking at the Spal fans, but the Duals would be bigger than my radiator. So I was thinking about the 2300 cfm 16 puller fan. Does/has anyone on the forum use this fan? I am just wondering how the wiring works out and how the fan is overall.

I use that fan, but not on a C3 (see sig). Its easy to install. A thermostat switch, +12V and and relay is all that's required.

I use this fan as well. Installation is a piece of cake, wired the main power from the alternator, the relay is under the dash wired into the fuse block on a switched power supply.

I've had mine installed for the last 8 months, no complaints.
