Hi All,
What fan, clutch and spacer should I be looking for on my non AC 1970 Road Runner with a 440 6bbl, manual trans and 22" radiator (2998954) and shroud (2998328)?
Thanks for any help!

I have a few clutch fans that will work, and I’m out in Pinckney. I also have a 70 6bbl manual car, if you’re interested in coming out, I can hook you up.

Is the car and original V code engine? Didn't all 6 bbl cars use a 26" radiator? The 6 bbl max cooling A34 Super track pack cars used a 26" radiator # 2998956, with TORQUE DRIVE fan clutch, 7 blade fan, shroud......WITHOUT ANY clutch spacer. I believe that the Super Bird's used a solid drive, 7 blade steel fan an shroud???? Just my opinion.....

I’ve never seen a spacer used in conjunction with a fan clutch.
I probably need to explain further.
My set up is a bit unusual.
I currently have a 4 blade mechanical fan without a clutch and a 1.25" spacer and want to convert to a 7 blade fan and clutch to help with cooling, but don't know if I need a spacer or not. The car was originally a 383, manual trans and 22" radiator and I changed to the 440+6 and kept the 4 blade fan and cooling was not too much of an issue. I want to "upgrade", but don't know what parts will be the best fit.
I am not quite sure if the combination of fan (2863216) and clutch (2806070) will fit into the OEM shroud, which is 20.75" in diameter.
