On that same old big block with cooling woes... I tried a "fan clutch
eliminator" too. It was an adapter with lots of bolts that took the
place of the fan clutch. This took care of the spacing to shroud
problem. Search that has some results for this both pro and con:
I'd prefer to use a clutch if possible. The Scout's gas mileage is
bad enough already, I'd rather not make it worse 8-) But, if the
blade I ordered won't fit, and the blade I have won't fit, I might
opt for a clutch eliminator as a temporary fix.
One small discovery so far is that 3/32" teflon cord valve bonnet
packing seems to make a good water pump gasket. The paper gasket
wouldn't seal owing to warpage between pump and housing.
Thanks for writing!
