I'm beginning to think the 69 AMX has it in for me
 
Case in point:
 
Decided after installing the Milodon water pump and new alternator along with a Bulltear water
pump pulley, I also padded the area around the fan shround with the twin Spaals to seal it
up.  Everything tested out ok.
 
Take the car out last night to go to a local car cruise, not even a mile down the road, it hit 230
degrees on the temp gauge!  Turned right around and found a spot to pull over.
 
One Spaal had a loose connector, which explained that, the other was dead.  I reconnected the
one working fan and then sat around in a Lowes parking lot until it cooled down to about 190 degrees.
 
Got back to the garage and metered out the other Spaal.  Half a volt from the relay.  Great, bad relay.
 
I thinking that I may just chuck the fan shroud with the twin Spaals, mount up the 7 bladed factory
fan and get a plastic factory shroud from a 71+ Javelin/AMX.  At least I'll know I have a functional
fan short of losing the blades!  At this point, I'm not worried about racing the car at the track and being
able to cool down after runs.  
 
If this works out, I'll pick up a 16inch fan and mount it to the front of the radiator for cool down, plus
added cooling while driving around town.
 
Sound like a plan?

Sometimes factory works best
 
I'm trying to squeeze as much hp out of the 360, so I did whatever I could to eliminate drag on the engine, but
since the car is mainly driven on the street,  I think keeping it more street than strip is a real good idea!
 
Thanks!

Answered my own question.Found one at Summit Racing,Flex-a-lite 5555 fan clutch with fan together $88.00.

I am used to being the minority, I run dual electrics with thermostatic control and never looked back.... you couldnt pay me to run a mechanical.... had a buddy who lost a blade and took out his hood, had a clutch fan blade out of whack and took out my radiator, then ask Ralfy how much of my blood is still on his engine block from some last minute fast repairs we made at Gad.... the flex fans are like razor blades....... also have had the pleasure of running a call and getting to unwrap a girls hair and part of her scalp from the fan clutch assembly......No sir..... u will never see one under my hood again..... and my car withstands the savannah summers.... has never seen over 205 degrees sittin n traffic down here.... and I dont even run a shroud....  
 

 

In my 52 years I have seen more clutch / pressure plates come apart racing than fans.
As for getting hair stuck in a fan/belt assy what the he!! was that person doing to get it that close and why was the hair not tied back.
When in school if you had long hair you had to wear a net when in the shop. It started when a guy got his hair cought around a drive shaft.
If you are not carefull with anything you can get hurt.

I've been running twin thermos off a Ford Mondeo of all things. Pretty much a spot on fit for my radiator (which is a GM unit) and it's been working a treat, although it has been winter down here. Will be interesting to see how it goes with the a/c in summer time, but at the moment it's great.
 
One thing I have noticed, is that the temps will creep up when the fans are turned off even at highway speeds. I don't think they turn very easily and create a bit of an aero block, then they kick in and the temps drop down. I've only noticed because I had a bad connection at the fuse box which caused one fan to stop and I noticed the temps go up more than normal on the freeway.
