I notice Summit and Jegs don't carry SPAL - also did a search under Vendor Directory and came up empty. Where do you get them from at the best price? -Bob

Thanks guys - I didn't get that link to spal doing a google search. Unfortunately all of the product specs are metric on the "usa" site - particularly:

This fan has an open design that I would think would not impede airflow as some say (see other note below).
An interesting note on BeCool's site - they say: "An added advantage to the puller fan is that it does not block airflow through the radiator core". Why then does the dual spal fan setup use the rubber flaps and many people say if you have an aluminum shroud it should have holes/louvres/flaps so the fans don't block airflow at higher speeds.

I think what they are trying to say is worded wrong. I saw somewhere years ago that a fan pushing vs pulling cut the flow by like 30%. Once the air goes thru the core its job is done and with a restriction in front of it the amount of air hitting the core is reduced.
Always do a puller.

I found this guy when I put spal fans on my 89 T/A. Very good guy to deal with. I highly recommend him.
