Coolng fan amps ???

Anyone know how many amps each cooling fan in a stock dual fan setup draws?? I have one from an LT1 I plan to run on my 67'Bird. Want to make sure I have the right amperage for the controller without going overboard.

im showing a 10 amp fuse to run the fans so it should be about/less than that.

It's always safest, and gives the most power to the fan, if you wire it up using a relay. If you wire it directly through a switch, it has to be rated to handle the amps. Some cheapo switches will have a melt down.
