Working on Pivotdoc's dragster today and trying to install a new House of Payne 16 volt alternator. This is not the ultra mini one so basically the external fan is in the way.

I think I can make everything else work but the fan needs to go so the bracket will fit properly.

I did a google search and found a couple of people who said they had done it without problems. Anyone out there chime in on this?

Thanks!

I think on a dragster you can get away with it. Not going to run long enough to get too hot I don't think.

We might have it figured out and get to keep the fan. Looks like a new mounting bracket will allow us to do that. I’ll post back if it all works out.

Cash, it is fine to remove the fan. I have done so many times. I have three cars at the Motorplex today without alternator fans.

Thanks Larry, I really didn’t think it would be a problem but always better to find someone with experience. Hoping we can make this thing fit, it’s pretty tight.

dump the fan Vern.I have had the blades break off at high rpm.Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt!
