Found my dads original 1971 duster!

Well, looks like when **** head got the rad re cored, they put the core way too close to the front of the rad housing. I went to national moparts this morning and he said that can be the only thing that makes sense. My fin portion of the rad needs to be taken out and pushed towards the front of the car. He gave me another mechanical fan to try, but he didn’t have a spacer and without a spacer, it hits the water pump pulleys etc. It also doesn’t even fit in the rad shroud. Diameter seems to big. Time to give up for a bit, I guess. I’m at the end of my rope, at this point
