Just putting my baby back together (1956 ~ 272). Just finished new gaskets, paint, valve job and just a total clean up and I am ready to put the fan back on.  I am having one heck of a time trying to get the holes to line up to even run the bolts through.  Is this normal or am I doing something very wrong?  I couldnt find a exploded diagram just to ensure I am putting the standoffs back in the correct order, which I am sure I am, just cant believe how far off the alignment is.  I will post a picture later when I get home, just looking to see if there is a quick answer to this and/or if it's common.

Thanks in advance!
