Thanks for all the replies,
I should have included that this is for a '66 1600 with a 2L radiator.
(which I believe sits about the same distance from the fan as stock rad.)
I went out to Ross's shop (sports imports) and tried to get a measurement
from an assembled car.
It looks to be very close to 4 inches clearance on the 1600's.
If this seems way out, please let me know...
Also the Temp. sending unit "seems" to be 16mm x 1.5 pitch. Haven't
confirmed, but will try today.
Thanks
Daryl
