Review on STAYCOO Aluminum Radiator Thermostat 1967 1969 by Jared Bradford

Not cheap for nothing - Radiator

At first glance it seemed like a good deal, but in fact this is a cheap kit for a reason. I just installed my kit and used it in my 1967 Pontiac Firebird 326 for several months before the fan motor suddenly stopped working while driving. I noticed my temperature was starting to rise and I had roadside problems to fix. I have a volt meter so I know my voltage was in the normal range. I think it's just a very cheap motor. Note: Even when it was running, the heatsink and fan struggled to keep the motor cool even though it's only a 326... I suspect this is because this heatsink is relatively thin compared to the performance heatsinks (maybe 1, 5 inches thick). 'have seen. on the market (which look 3-4 inches thick)... I would recommend buying a better heatsink kit than this.
