ah, at long last - the 1990 Town car coolant tank and fan shroud.
Installing this may require drilling holes in the 'nut & bolt tray' portion of the radiator, but otherwise is a drop in install. I had to put holes in the 85's radiator, but not the one in the '91
also note: this bottle sits directly under the stock air intake tube where it bolts to the radiator support. So, you will have to change your air inlet or have its fasteners replaced with wing bolts for access to the bottle.
Though if your cooling system is in good shape, you wont need to access it too often
Looks good. Does that washer bottle hit the horn, or are your horns not stuck in the fender right there like mine are? I know mine are somewhere in that hole, but it might be far enough forward to not be a clearance issue.

yep mine are there - well one is. The other one is in the same spot next to the battery. Then there's the two in front of the radiator, hehe (add-ons).
But no I didn't have to fool with it, its deep enough in there. This washer bottle is pretty much flat down from where it bolts to the fender.
Would a 86-93 mustang GT fan shroud work or is it smaller than the 90 town car shroud? The mustang shroud looks similar except I think the washer bottle mounts to it also?

a mustang shroud may work, Im pretty sure they just have the coolant bottle attached like this one. Its possible though the mustang radiator is smaller, but if not it should fit with slight cutsom fitting needed at most.
just wanted to mention that I recenlty replaced my radiator, and the 90 towncar shroud did not fit this new radiator nearly as well. I had to do some cutting and it still didnt fit like I wanted at all. Lets just hope its secure enough...
The radiator is the same freakin part number from the same comapny, Everride radiator. For starters there's a stupid rod running vertically in the middle of the thing that folds the nut tray down a little and gets in the way.
I am not happy, and it makes me want an electric fan.
