The fan in the pictures I think is from my post earlier, but should be one like that for an Air car. There is one on eBay currently with correct style fan clutch for close to $700 as I recall. Chrome valve covers were possible on early 71's.

thanks Yes I took the fan pic off the thread as it was better then my picture on the car. I have been seeing several 71's then had different fans so I was getting nervous that my car was pieced together. I had found that it has a manual trans starter instead of the correct one.
