electric fan with stock 164 alternator? 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be chris ulrich on  Tue Jul 2 08:52 CST 2002 [RELATED]


My 164 has the stock alternator. I'm considering installing an
aftermarket electric fan. I got a kit (carquest PN 77528) that has
a thermometer and a relay and a bunch of wires. I was going to get
a fan from a junk yard.

My question is this: The kit has a fuse rated at 25 amps. If I
run this thing at night with my headlamps on and heater fan running,
will I run my battery down? I have normal headlamps and no other
electric devices besides an old radio with a 1 amp fuse and a dome
lamp.

My car has a rigid fan attachment and gets hot if I let the car
idle while stopped.
