    65 A/C coupe fan shroud

    Hello all,
    I am looking for some info on the correct configuration on the fan shroud seal on my 65 350 hp a/c coupe.
    I am replaceing the radiator, hoses seals etc.. I ordered a lower shroud seal from paragon and went to put it on and discovered that there were no holes from the staples for the old seal. I belive that this is the original shroud, because I have known the previous owner for 30 years and the car was never wrecked until he did so in about 1987. I don't think he replaced the Shroud at that time because it has traces of undercoating on the bottom and runs in the paint that look like factory dip painting. I do not think that He would have put undercoating on the shroud. Does anyone know if there were cars produced without this lower seal installed? I could not find any reference to this in the AIM. I looked because I thought thast maybe for some reason with A/C this seal was not used. I am debating about weather or not I should add the seal and the staples. Also The Seal I recieved from Paragon has instructions that say the curved edge should go to the back of the car but it fits the shroud much better if the curved edge is against the shroud. And there are no dimensions given as to how much the shroud should overlap and where the staples go and so forth. Could someone please send me pictures of an original shroud and seal? And if anyone has dimensions on the overlap and staple placements I would really appreciate that info as well. THanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Bill,
    I checked my 42xx and 200xx air cars and they both have the seal stabled to the lower fan shroud with 7 staples going from the bottom up and bent over in the fan area on top of the seal. I also checked a non air car and 3 old fan shrouds and they all had seals stabled to the lower shrouds. I don't think it has to do with air cond. but was standard for all cars as it shows up on the AIM on UPS 11-13 Sheet A$ page # E206 in my book,
    Hope this helps,

      Thanks Page for looking I really appreciate it. I was beggining to thank no one was going to respond. I guess everyone is at Bloomington? I guess that I must have a replacement shround. Next time I have it out I will add the seal. One question though I belive the Aim shows 5 staples and you say yours had 7. is that correct?
      Thanks again,
      Bill

        Hi Bill,
        All 6 fan shrouds had 7 staples. One was in the middle, two near the outside ends, and another one between the middle and the ends on each side.
