No, fan was running correctly, it was a puller. When it was running you could place your hand between it and the alternator for only a few seconds because the air it was pulling thru the radiator was so warm.
Today was 100 degrees so after I put in 160 degree thermostats I took it for a short trip about 20 miles, temperature reached 170-175 degree. Going to run it like this for a while before changing over to 180's.
