65 AC car correct radiator fan and spacer

(1/2) > >>

69cobrajetrugae2:
Question.

  I am in the process of installing what appears to be a factory 3 row radiator in a 65 Fastback factory AC car. The fan must be installed lastly since there is no radiator installation clearance with the fan installed.

What is the correct procedure and what fan and spacer are used?  It seems to me that a slotted fan mount must be used and the spacer may be bolted on separately. Thanks!

ChrisV289:
Are you not using a fan clutch? 

69cobrajetrugae2:
Chris, it has a solid fan.  Did the factory use a fan clutch on AC cars?  thanks!

ChrisV289:
As far as I know they did.  How many blades is your fan?

jwc66k:
What engine?
With the aftermarket 3 row radiator on my daily driver 66 Hardtop (289 "A" code, AT, PS, no A/C) I used a 68 spacer with four shorter bolts
and a shroud. (Not concourse.)
