What is the correct fan to radiator clearance?

Do you mean the brown grounding wire? That's attached to a capacitor.
The IVR is inside the fuel gage.
Maybe a small thread-sert can be used.

Marked up from the 67 Supplement.
Acc = power into the regulator (about 14 volts) That's what the capacitor is connected to.
