A friend picked up a slim aftermarket electric fan, and I'd like to figure out if its suitable to replace the finger-threatening propeller currently attached to my water pump. The car also tends to run alarmingly hot in bad traffic (what '60s car wouldn't?), and I want to make sure it stays cool in any scenario.

It's a SPAL VA10-AP9/C-25A. It's a 10-blade, 12" diameter fan with a 842 CFM, 7 amp rating. It says it's set up for "suction" which I assume means it mounts behind the radiator in the normal position (after removing the old pump-mounted fan).

Is this enough flow for my 122?
