The fan attachment points...  The fan attachment points are the radiator's four attachment points. Again, inspect fan clearances before running the bolts all the way down.  Fan clearance from the water...  Fan clearance from the water pump pulley should be at least 1 inch.  Shim the Old Air fan between...  Shim the Old Air fan between the fan and radiator for proper positioning. Our installation called for four 1/4-inch shims.  A test light is used to source...  A test light is used to source power.
