I think people were getting it for 60 something at rock auto


Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I just did it to my car. It's a little thick- close to the WP pulley, but it's trick. I paid the usual price from rock auto. (~$60). I also got the plug that fits for good looking wiring job. It fits right over a 22. I can see it working for a 26 also. The radiator is the 22'spectra, also from rock auto.

I'm running the same setup on a 26" radiator. I used some 2 X 2 aluminum angle and was able to use the factory fan shroud holes for mounting. I like my setup! That fan moves a lot of air.

The fan has hollow ribs that run up/ down. They line up perfectly with the stock shroud mount holes. I used 10/24 screws and nuts in each corner. I held the nuts with my long needlenose pliers. Needless to say, the rad and fan come out in one piece. Yes, I had to trim a lot. I took the motor out and trimmed away the back that covers the motor. Lots of trial fit.
The alternator is a basic 60 amp square back.

So how much room do you need to get it in there? I have a 16" fan from Mancini and I was looking into the HHR instead.Last Thursday it was over eighty here and my car went over 220 for a little bit until I got some fresh air in the grill.

About 3.1/2" after triming it down from what i'm seeing, there about 4", i'm sure your car has alot more room then my Dart, so it should fit fine.

The factory male plug (the one NOT on the fan housing) is on many other GM cars at the U pull it. They gave me one for nothing. The Rock Auto site will let you see the applications if you look for them. Mine came with about 4 feet of both wires and came off a 1995 Buick.

When you guys run this fan is it on all the time or can it be set up to opperate like a late model car so it kicks on when needed?

I bought an adjustable Derale fan controller from Summit for around $40. You can adjust the on and off temps.
