I need some advice on what to do regarding the fan for my car. I purchased a Fan Clutch, Thermal 1967-72 400/455 22049 OPGI #CH25855 and the fan 18' 17118 that goes with it. My radiator is 2.68 inches thick. The car is a 65 Olds Cutlass that had a 330 inch motor. I have the plastic 442 shroud that fits. The radiator was enlarged and I think it's five row or four. The engine is a 425 block (468 cid). The water pump is the shortest one.
The problem is that if I would put the fan clutch on the end of the pully the clutch runs into the radiator. I tried the original fan that was on the 330 and held it up to the pully and there is enough clearance. I have not yet investigated with came on a 65 442 with or without AC as far as fan clutches or the size of the radiator. I looks like I will have to for go the idea of a fan clutch.
So if anyone who's "been there done that" I would appreciate it.
Thanks. Tom
