The pusher fan:
I dont know how yours is installed. Heres the catch. Most pushers are installed DIRECTLY AGAINST the radiator. but the Packard has a diagonal rad support brace that interferes with such an installation. Therfore less effect of the pusher fan. Further more the pushe fan is more of a hot rod application than what would be appropriate for wide range of PASSENGR car operation. Modern apps of the pusher are , in allthat i have seen, are mounted Directly against the rad, not 2 Or 3 inches from it and do not have a engine driven fan. Ther are other issuesinvolved here too. If the pusher displaces less air than the engine fan then the pusher becomes a RESTRICTION.

The pusher has its place. Mostly for difficult or extremely compact engine compartment configurations that are primarily of modern cars.

ANYTHING in front ofthe rad is a RESTRICTION!!!!!!!
