Here is one for Sherlock Holmes.
my 67 DGS was a one owner car that originally bought in Escondido, California, therefore it has the smog pump, etc...
Do these smog pumps make the engine run hotter?
Where do you get the replacement filter that supposedly goes in the canister mounted on the pump? Currently there is no filter in there, but at a show I saw where someone had what looked like a small air filter in the canister.
The fan is different than one Ive seen before as well. There is approx 2" spacer between the pulley drive and the fan itself, and the fan if not original looks to be a vintage aluminum flex fan with 5 blades. Did Ford ever use something like this as early as '67? I looked quickly and did not see a FORD stamping or what looked like a FORD part number sequence on it. I'll look closer tonite when I clean and repaint it. Could it have been part of a heavy duty cooling dealer thing because of it being a southern California car? Oddly the car doesnt have A/C but has a 3 core radiator as well.
OR......
In 1970 the car was shipped to Honalulu, Hawaii where it stayed til the owner retired and moved to Tennessee in 1995. Could the 3 core radiator and flex fan have been added in Hawaii? I got a huge folder of bills and receipts for the car that include all kinds of small items like the shipping to and from Hawaii, bill of sale, payment coupon book, window sticker, every oil change, etc.... and there is nothing there to indicate that the radiator or fan were swapped out.
Anyone answer this? I'll take a picture of the fan with my digital camera since I dont think you can see it very well in the engine pictures I have on here.
