I went to install my recently acquired seven blade fan and clutch to replace the six blade aftermarket that has been on there since I got the car.
To my surprise, the fan would not clear an auxiliary pulley that is mounted to my dual sheeve crankshaft pulley. I've meant to get rid of that pulley, which sticks out another 1.5 inches past where a triple sheeve would for a while, but it never bugged me enough and was a bit of a hassle to access.
I've got everything back together in the configuration that has been on the car for the past twenty years, but it is now clear to me that the fan may be on an extra long spacer and sitting much further inside the shroud than it should be.
I'd much appreciate if someone could give me the measurement between the fan and radiator when properly set up. Also, pictures would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
