1974 Dart Swinger
Well tonight while my son was at his Drivers Training Course, I installed the freshly polished fan blade. Not the easiest thing in the world to do without an extra set of hands, trying not to mash any of the cooling fins of the radiator. The comparison of the 4 blade vs the 6 blade is quite obvious. The 6 blade mounted closer to the radiator and really seemed to blow much more air over the engine, which should translate into sucking more air through the radiator as well. The blue color of the fan actually matches the battery mount pretty well so it doesn't look out of place in the engine bay. Once this was done, I cleaned up the rubber pieces that go between the rear bumper and the body. Wednesday night we'll paint those pieces and then install them Thursday evening. Can't wait to get back to the local pick-and-pull to see what else we can find for the car!
