Thanks Dennis.  Please send the info as soon as you can.   I need to get this done and get back home to MA.  Had to send the wife home last Friday by plane and I miss her and the dog.  I'm running out of time and money on this unexpectedly lengthy trip.  Much more fun when it's planned.
BTW, new fan shrouds seem hard to find.  Anyone got a vendor?

I have a low cost, more efficient radiator fan solution. I can send details later.

Looks like I have to replace my rad fan and shroud,  When fan is turned by hand, one can feel a lump, or sticky spot in the rotation and is quite loud when operating.  Shroud was bent and somewhat rusted and although it was straightened and painted I might as well do this up right.  Advance Auto Parts may be able to get them, as they have some relationship with World parts, and they are local and may save me some shipping costs.  Has anyone got any pro or cons on World Parts.  I am not sure of their reputation and am deciding if I want to go that route or stick with our regular vendors.
