clutch fan gap too short

yes..use a proper 7 blade mechanical or mopars' own flex fan.If your cooling is compromised you will surely over heat idling with the clutch fan...and when they fail it's no fun.

Mine doesn`t over heat , but runs about 5-6 * hotter w/ the clutch set up -
Leaving the carb/throttle body pan/scoop seal to the hood will make it about * hotter in cool weather even .
