Very cool! Mine is still 6v positive ground. Is your uncles original too? I've taken the auxiliary fans off since this video was filmed about 5 months ago. I had installed them for parades and for hot days. It turns out, if you spend the price of a good late model used car on blueprinting the flathead, the car doesn't run hot and you can pitch the auxiliary fans! :-)

I assume you're asking about the pusher fans. No, they obviously weren't an option. I installed them temporarily as part of an investigation of overheating in preparation for a parade. I subsequently elected not to do the parade and instead elected to have the flathead blue printed to make sure everything was to factory specs. The fans were left in place, but weren't connected at the time of the video and have since been removed. Some of the "overheating" was the result of a sending unit problem that also was diagnosed and corrected. With the sending unit functional and the engine running like new, the car doesn't overheat based on IR temp readings, and the dash temp gauge reflects it correctly. I offered in an earlier post last week that the fans had been removed after blueprinting the engine. I hope this more detailed explanation clears up any confusion about the electric fans.

About that "all original"; was this an option back then?
