I recently attended a Ford Lincoln Mercury and Edsel swap meet. As I was looking for parts for another project. I came across a stack of FoMoCo flex fans $5.00 each. how could I resist. I picked up a few for the Lincoln. The original fan is only 4 blades.
Yikes .!! this fan is way too wide!
Back to the drawing board.
After some trial and error I selected an aftermarket fan. Stainless steel Deral flex fan #19118. This is a low profile unit.It measures 1 1/8 "wide.
Here are the 3 fans side by side.
Here's the unit installed.
I had the radiator dipped and cleaned..... the car should run cool now.
When buying a used part check for defects, cracks, loose hardware, bent components...... its buyer beware.Yikes .!! this fan is way too wide!
