Those shrouds I have are '70 up probably /6. Should be fairly easy to find in the state of paradise by the sea.
The question is how that might fit or be fitted on an early A and whatever radiator is being used.

Here's intact one laying on a '68 radiator with a '70 bottom tank.

Here's two on top of each other.

And the new water pump has plugs no fittings for heater and bypass hose.
:mad:. Something else to search for.

Why are you changing water pumps?
The Edlebrock pumps are like that. They supplied fittings, but they were brass fitting for the aluminumn pump. :realcrazy:\

Bigger problem was the pump needs to be ground back a bit to fit. Told 'em - sent 'em picks. Bet they never fixed the issue.

Fixed it.
 
Got a few more hours in - mostly cleaning - but this is always a bit of jigsaw puzzle fitting in box wrenches and sockets..

Well. Runs hotter then I would like. Also oil pressure is not as high as I would like. And over drive inop. And trans shifts wonkey. That is probably just low on fluid. 10W 30 oil. Going to change to 20W 50. 25 psi hot 210 degrees 1000rpm idle in gear. 55 driving.... And I will check coolent level when it cools down. But damn the thing runs like a bat out of hell

Full groove bearings?
 
Fix the trans first. That might effect everything else.
For oil maybe try a 5W-40. big jump from 30 to 50.
55 driving seems about right. 25 psi at idle actually seems a little high but acceptable.

You talking about the fan shroud?
I was saying nevermind about the Philly weather and my reworking of it.

What radiator do you have in the '66?
I somehow made that one shroud that busted work on a squaretop radiator. I might have installed it upside down. let me look at the photo again.

It was installed as we see it here.
My recollection is the break is from the fan blade flying off and then it hit the battery tray and battery (driver side).

Notice I drilled some new holes to mount it a little higher than the factory holes.
 
Also have pics and measurements of a repop '68-9 shroud. '67 is different but I dont know the details.
