	And yet another question.... I've seen pictures and a couple of in-person fan extension blocks on CJ-2a's, but not on the 3a's.... Do I need one? Now is the easiest time to install it... My radiator has been boiled out and repaired, new water pump etc.... Thanks..

	Are you talking a spacer between the fan and water pump? If so, I've never seen such a part on any 4cyl jeeps.

	There aren't any spacers on the two 3As I have, fan is bolted to water pump with the pump pulley in between. Same thing with the F head in my 3B. I did read something about using a spacer to move the fan blades closer to the radiator for better draw??? 1949 CJ3A Project (shroud missing) 1952 CJ3A parts Jeep

	The "better draw" is what I've heard... This is not a good picture of the fan, but if you look real closely you can see that the fan is not tight against the pump, but that there is a spacer in there.... It's the only picture I have of the spacer...

	Hard to see in that pic but it almost looks like separate spacers or stacked washers at each bolt.

	I know it's a bad picture...but it was a spacer, maybe 1 1/2".. If I knew how to highlight it i would.... you can see the extension if you sight down the V between that riveted on strip and the radiator top... But, if no one but me has seen one then I'm sure I don't need one!

	Well, I think Bubba had owned that jeep for a while..it had power steering and high-backed bucket seats...it was a Lefty. Good body. Compared to what I finally bought it had an excellent body! It ran like a watch, but had a nasty growl when driven....
