A small set back. The 2863216 fan hits the radiator and the new AC compressor. I tried all different spacers and I switched out the Hayden Clutch fan with Tony's Parts reproduction 070 fan clutch and it still hits the compressor. I am going to try the 2863215 fan with the 2806070 clutch fan with the 1/2 spacer with the small shim. That should work. I have fan ordered off ebay.

The car ran today for the first time since 1981!
Congrats. I just shared your milestone with my wife, we both were in awe. You have persistence to envy.

Last post pics. Got the ride height set. Using a removable temporary gas tank until welding is done. Timing marks and tools. Also ordered the battery dress up kit for the Walmart battery.

Welded in the donor hood beak into my hood. I was not the one that originally cut up a nice r/t hood.

Sand blasted and Painted my new fan and used a reproduction fan clutch from Tony's parts. It is fantastic. I also put the fan shroud back on.

Awesome build. I seem to remember Iannaco Motors from our days of riding to Camp Ha Lu Wa Sa in Hammonton for the annual church picnic. Was the dealership on Rt 30?

Yes. It was Iannaco Garage the Dodge dealership from 1969 until it moved to the new larger location in 1974. Then it was called Iannaco Motors. They sold Subaru too. Both locations were on the White Horse Pike in Waterford. The Iannaco’s sold it in 1978 and I think it closed in 1981. My Grandfather was the owner and my Uncles ran the operation. My parents purchased the second new car they ever sold. It was the coronet in my first post. The first new car they sold was a 70 blue Polera.
