hey everyone i want to do a clutch fan to electric fan conversion on my 3.8 liter 1990 thunderbird (base model) i went to the junkyard and got an electric fan off of a 1994 (or 1995) LX thunderbird so now i just gotta do the wiring....i never use my air conditioning cause its completey drained of refrigerant...so i might skip wiring it to the AC compressor i just wanna do it as simple as possible and lowest cost possible. Im just worried my 75 amp alternator wont be able to take it cause the T bird i got the electric fan off of had i believe 130 amp alternator....cause of this i was thinking of using a manual switch in the driver compartment so ill barely use it...only when the temp goes up to the middle or when i go up my steep hill....any ideas?
if i can go back in time i think i shouldve got it off of a late 80s early 90s taurus...which has a 100 amp alternator and the fan isnt as big...but i cant.
