We always do that! They’re startin’ not to believe us! :)

Yep, it should work just fine

Any number of blades will work. I’ve put 7 blade fans in place of 4 blade fans with no problem.

Yep, that was the stock size.

Most Mopar fans are 18” in diameter, except the early A bodies, which use a 17” fan

Can I come over and play cars with you, please?

All this talk about thermostats has brought a question to my mind…. In the 6pak tuning guide they state that in order to get the exact correct tuning on your setup, certain items and parameters MUST be met. One item they state that must be in place is the 195 thermostat, which came stock on...

and I would guess that’s what the OP’s problem is. At freeway speeds, the airflow is not the problem, it should be getting plenty of air. I would suspect that he doesn’t have a radiator or hood seal, or the lower cowl seal in place, letting air pass by the radiator opening. He also needs a...

I run a 6 blade 17” fan with a clutch in my stock metal fan shroud on my original 22” radiator. I had a couple of the 6 blade 17” fans, so I milled the center out to accept the clutch and assembled a couple for some friends that liked my setup!

Since nobody mentioned it here, I guess I will. Do you have the radiator support to hood seal in place, and the lower radiator support to splash pan seal? With a mechanical clutch fan and factory shroud, you are trying to create a vacuum where the fan pulls air through the radiator, and the area...

Of course, very little has been said here about air flow, which is the biggest part of the equation. If you’re not drawing enough air through the radiator, it doesn’t matter how fast or slow the water is flowing through. Maximizing your air flow is the biggest key to running at temp. The hood to...

for the last 40 years, and up u til about 6 months ago, every car enthusiast in my area all had their radiators redone by Larry Lake, who was around 80 when he retired. He would still be doing them if he hadn’t gotten an offer on his property that he couldn’t refuse. He did my radiator about a...

I had the original 956 radiator recored for my Roadrunner, and run the stock shroud and 195 thermostat. No problems whatsoever.

Did you have factory shrouds on them and the factory suggested thermostat in the cars that crept up?

An original fan from a 63-66 would be 17” in diameter.

thats because I suck and let my gold membership expire. I’ll pm you my texting number.

I have that exact setup on my car. A couple things.... 1) the fan must remain your original fan, they are only 17”, the 67 and newer ones are 18” and some larger, and will not fit the metal shroud. 2) some 6 and 7 blade early A body fans have a hole in the center big enough to pass the stem of...

Here’s a few pics of the 63/64 slant radiator with the corresponding shroud. I sold this about a month ago.

Put the bottom bolt in but leave it very loose, out the box up with the door open and reach inside and hook the top, then tighten the bolt.

I run the 17” fan with a clutch because I have the shroud!

Yes, the fan is 17”. If you are not running the original 2 piece metal shroud, you can run an 18” fan.

Wow, that's really expensive! The guy I use has been doing radiators for about 60 years, and he is in the $300 range all day long! Yes, it's driven by the price of the core, and I'll bet those custom cores can be really expensive! Never had the need for that much cooling myself, so I stick to...

They did change the assembly in 68, and even the slider and switch assembly is different!! I'm parting out a couple of 67 Cudas if you find you need anything!!

The "702" is the correct 1967 heater box!

Here is my fan and clutch! The fan is an original 17" fan correct for early A body cars with the 2 piece shroud! I don't know where I got the clutch, but I did not buy it straight out of a store!! What I can do is mock up another correct fan, and I have another clutch around here, and make sure...

I will picture my setup later with the original metal 2 piece shroud, 7 blade 17" fan, and the clutch mechanism I used!! I have a few extra 17" 6 and 7 blade fans for early A cars if you need one!!

It appears that were all getting along!!!!

There's a company down Texas way called Airtech or something of that nature, that builds and sells heater cores!! If I can find the catalog, I'll post up some info here!!

Make sure you also use the hole and put a screw in it to clamp down on the cable a little more!!

So, since nobody asked, I will!! What is the core support made for??? If it's only a 22" opening, a 26" radiator will do no good unless you cut your radiator support to allow the entire radiator to have air flow! Unless it's a car you don't mind cutting, you can and will find a 22" radiator that...
