You can easily fit a puller fan to a 1275 car by changing out the radiator 
surround to one from a later 1500 car.  The 1500 is a longer engine, so the 
factory had to move the radiator forward.  You can also increase the 
radiator size by having the tanks from a 1275 soldered to a 1500 radiator 
core, adding about 20% more cooling area.
