Might have missed the correction, but worth stating here. The '68 timing cover was a combination of old and new. Still used the 8-bolt water pump with two plates that are not visible from the outside and the larger 4-bolt harmonic balancer. If either of the plates were missing the slow speed temps would also be through the roof.

Have a friend that went with a custom aluminum shroud/fan assembly and even with the flaps, the $1,250 assembly runs warmer on the freeway than his previous stock shroud and mechanical fan at speed.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
