Car is otherwise correct in every way, but gets warm when driving and especially idling in traffic. The fan blades are not super visible due to the large shroud, so a puller wouldn't be really noticeable. Pushers mounted through the A/C condenser would also kind of disappear. There is a little bit of play in the factory fan, so maybe it's just got a bad thermostatic fan clutch. The car is equipped with a generator, and would that provide adequate power to run the fan continuously without draining the battery in the process? I have a guy who can turn the generator into an alternator without visible difference if I need more juice. I'm sure I'm not reinventing the wheel here but it's not something I've personally done before. I'd like to either wire it up to come on with the ignition key, or maybe with a thermostatic switch, or maybe a manual switch? Anyway, looking for any input y'all can offer. Car is located in north San Diego county and is part of a collection I take care of.
Unrelated to the post above, I can't seem to get the secondaries in the 4BBL carburetor to work. Everything is basically brand new. It's a very fresh and well done restoration. Like most restorations, some shakedown time is necessary, and I'm just the guy to do it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
