Does anyone know how long this cable is? It goes from the battery connection on the starter and down under the engine.

Also, does anyone know how many CFM the factory fan puts out? The one on this car is gone so I need to pick one up.
Thanks

I think the stock fans go by wattage.
Single speeds start at 100w and go to 200W. Two speed fans for A/c, have dual listed wattages, i.e., 60/ 100w, 150/200, 150/250, etc.

Oh, I see. I just picked up an 800CFM dual stage fan. I am going with that.
I do see that space is limited, about 11 inches.
 
Re: 2 Questions...... (silentdub)

you mean the alternator wire that goes from the starter to the alternator? mine was routed down to the back of the lower valance under the radiator then when it got over to the alternator it looped down a little to give it some room to move. over all it was about 28"-36". when I was under there changing the oil I noticed it was barely holding itself together, I figured thats why my voltage sucked and I was right replaced it with some 8 gauge wire and its working better

Yeah I just picked up a 4 gauge wire, I'll fit it up real nice after my vacation.
