Re: 65 Belvedere, S6 cooling issue.

[Mike and Linda <miclinmopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the replies.  I went to the scrap yard to look for fixed 
blade fans ( 6-7 ) blade.  It turns out that virtually all the cars have 
clutch fans.  I then spied a couple of 70's caddies,  low a behold 18", 6 
blade fixed fan!   I took it of, and put it up against my mopar spacer that 
I brought for a hole pattern comparison.  Turns out, its lines up darn near 
perfectly and the center hole is correct too!.

I say darn near....the bolt holes are 5/16, but the spacing is slightly 
smaller by maybe 1/64 - - or less.  It REAL close and should bolt up fine 
without having to open up the holes.

I get alot of parts from the yard....so the mgr. said "its yours....see you 
next time!"   S C O R E ! ! !

Now to blast, paint and swap it out.

Mike
