67 gto water pump install question please
Ive been running my 67 gto for ruffly 2 yrs and temps are bouncing off the 200 degree mark and decided to tweek my divider plate , got everything apart no problem but i had one gasket to timing chain cover, all the stores are telling me i need 2 gaskets??? Maybe they mean the one from timing chain cover to block and water pump gasket makes 2???
But no they are saying 2 gaskets between pump and cover so 2 or 1 gasket, i have 2 divider plates in my 67,s timing cover tweeked at .030 to the vaines. can,t wait to try her out!! So 2 gaskets or one guys?????? Exactly what do i do here?? 1 gasket and motor ran fine to me. |

There's only one gasket that goes on after the 2 divider plates are installed and before the pump is installed.
I thought at one time there must be a gasket between the divider plates, but that is not so. They might have been thinking that. Good luck and let us know how it's doing.

Thank You very much, i thought so, it went together without any problems. One more question, any differance between a air con. fan blades and standard ones?? I had a flex fan on my motor and switched back to clutch fan but blades are within 1/8 of hitting shroud????

Not sure but I think the a/c fans are 7 blade and bigger in diameter..... 19-1/2"s?
I've got a 6 blade fan with clutch on mine, and have about an inch clearance to the shroud.... non a/c. Looks to be around 17-1/2"s in diameter. Can't get an accutate measurement tho.... going by catalogs on diameter.

If you're not running a/c and you get nervous about the 1/8" clearance, go to the 6 blade fan with the smaller diameter.
