is that medium blue?

Re: New heartbeat 68
 

Sure looks like light blue to me, which is the same color as my '69. I believe they only did this color through '69

By fan not turning do you mean that it's free wheeling spinning but not the same speed as the motor? If so its because the bi metallic spring on the front of the fan clutch has not sensed enough heat to lock up the fan. Usually on cold start ups the fan will lock for a slight moment you should hear a semi loud roar then free wheel. Have you had it up to normal operating temp?

Looks like she is sitting in there at a pretty extreme angle! lol

I think you are going to have to build a cradle with tires to support the rear of the trans.
