Question:
Hi What is the best powerful cooling fan for my 1972 Cadillac Eldorado? I live in a hot climate. Is it a direct fit or it does need some modification? Thanks

Hey Omar, cool car! For the most cooling I recommend the Flex-a-lite Black Magic Xtreme Electric Radiator Fan # FLX180, which moves up to 3,300 CFM. However, this is a universal-fit fan so it isn't specifically designed for your 1972 Cadillac Eldorado.
The # FLX180 measures 21-1/2" wide x 17-1/2" tall x 4-3/16" deep, so you'll need to compare those dimensions with the available space around your radiator. Some modification may be required for mounting and wiring.
Have you made any other upgrades to the Eldorado?
