I believe you need to use the pulley from a 1275. I have a 1275 timing
cover, pulley and plastic fan in my Bugeye with no clearance problem. In
a later car you may need to trim the fan slightly but not always. When
I only had a vent to the air cleaner it quickly became oil soaked and
made my front carb run rich.
