34, I didn't know there was a "proper procedure".....not the first time I've plowed ahead on instinct!! I've spent so much time with my distributor that I've reduced removing and re-installing the fan to a "routine". I first get the gen. and water pump belt tight with proper flex, and then lift the fan assembly up until I've got the right tension on the fan belt. I use a small block of wood and a pry bar under the generator to get that one right before I proceed to the fan belt. One of my biggest challenges was finding the right fan belt! Finally I got what I needed from MacVP, complete with Ford script.
