If this guy named Greg is so damn smart then why didn't he call it an amplifier?

Because it isn't an amplifier An amplifer would multiply the 12 volts by a fixed value. If the 12 volts varies then so does the output. The regulator puts out 16 volts regardless of the input voltage (within it's stated input voltage range).

Thanks Don...

I wasn't even going to bother with a reply. Some guys are better off if they just remain as they are... carburetors... old school big blocks.. you know what I'm talking about.

Todd -- all kidding aside -- you could get a nice big one and stick it in the trunk and it would be like a battery -- some ballast for you.

And......... just to get the thread back on track....... here's my completed AUTO RAD WORK OF ART (not my work = they're work!). I haven't made the SS overflow line yet... that's tomorrow.




I'm running the SPAL PWM fan controller - and with the two 16" fans - the temp doesn't move. I like the fan controller because it's neat and tidy and the #1 fan only comes on at half speed (QUIET!) and then slowly ramps up as needed. When it hits full speed and can't control the temp - then #2 kicks in. BOTH kick in if you crank the A/C... and turn the A/C off and they continue to run for 30 seconds... cooling things down big time. I like it!
