Electric Fan Installation Bolt On
Old Air's 16-inch 225-watt cooling fan is an easy bolt-on for standard 18-inch Mustang radiators. Ease of installation depends on your radiator's width. The wider the radiator, the more likely it is that you'll have to shim the fan for a perfect fit. An adjustable thermostat controls coolant temperature.

First, remove all four radiator-retaining bolts. These are the electric fan's anchor points.
