It is ironic that the length of a reply on how to repair a problem such as 
the fan bearing height is too wordy for VV, where no one is too ashamed to 
add their lengthy personal meanderings, particularly the post that followed 
about a car for sale.

The bearing height for 1964 is 4.52 inches as mentioned by a previous poster 
which can be a difficult exact height to reach. A solution is to trim a 
chock or wedge to put beneath the existing bearing before removal and then 
install to that fit. If the bearing has been removed or you have a new 
cover, it is necessary to use the indirect measurement described in the shop 
manual at page 6A-19-20.
