Default Push / Pull I Stand Corrected !!

Everyone Was Correct On The Fan On My 78. It Is A Pull Fan. After Going Back To The Shop Last Night,we All Stood And Looked At It. It Was Apparent That At Sometime In Its Former Life The Fan Had Been Replaced,and Was Not Setting Corectly In The Shroud,there For Giving The Impression That The Fan Was Pushing Air Instead Of Pulling. Moved The Fan A Little Further Into The Shroud,and Problem Solved.

That's better! In general, best to have fan blade about halfway into the shroud opening.
