Default DeWitts Radiator Questions

Are they having a sale? I almost pulled the trigger last year until something stupid happens in life. Anyone know when they might?

Are there directions from DeWitts itself? It isn't on the website

Can I the stock fans and if it isn't enough change to the Spal ones they have on the site or must it be done at the time of install?

What exactly is required if you use the Spal ones WRT the evaporator removal?

I believe with an auto I will be looking at the A90A. If we ever did the fan, we'd have to use the SP461, right? How difficult is it to move the evaporator canister?

TIA

My 86 was a drop-in.

No real need for special fans or the like.
Unless you have to have the trick stuff...

I trimmed the shroud around the drain **** for clearance and ease of access.

Would be the same thing since it gets driven all the time in the summer. Thanks to the PO, I discovered why it was getting too hot. He had the fans tied together in some weird fashion and it fused one of the sets of wires. Have to get new connectors and relays to make it work.
