Should be no spacer on the 69-70 B Nova fan, bolts directly to face of pulley into the WP

Thanks for the response. It was in the same magazine that featured the blue 1968 Harrel 427 nova this month. They were using a orange 1969 L-78 Nova to show how you could tell a real big block car and they mentioned this spacer. They also mentioned a nut that was used to mount the radiator on the left side that had a rubber grommet attached to it.

Mark, the rubber grommet and nut are correct and help mount/support the radiator and do mount on the drivers side of the radiator. Should be 2, one on top and one on the bottom of the radiator. I can post a picture of the grommets if you are interested..

Rich, please post a picture at your convenience. A couple of other questions I have is if the F-41 rear sway bar come on all 1970 SS 396 novas or was it optional from some point in the model year? Also I was told that the drive shaft is different on a L-78 Nova, maybe something to do with the lack of a taper at the ends? I bought the blue 1970 Nova from Stefano. It is a very nice car but like many old cars it has a few little things that need to be corrected.

The F41 package was optional on the SS Novas.
