RE: IML: Fan concerns Pt 2, my '66 Coupe

["david munson" <davidmunson30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had the same on my 66------440 and it turned out to be a partially clogged 
radiator but check your oil for coolant and your coolant for oil as you 
never know you could have a head gasket problem . I hope not but with old 
cars they can be a little frustrating at times , good luck.
