    1969 350/300 A/C fan & clutch fan

    I recently purchased a number of parts from a friend including a 7 blade fan from his '69 300 HP A/C car. What other cars did the fan come on originally? I have a replace 7 blade fan from the late 1980's and it looks a bit different.

    For the most part, I don't think that 300 hp 1969's used a 7 blade fan. I wouldn't rule it out, though. However, the fan blade assembly you have pictured does not appear to me to be the one used, if such a 7 blade fan was used for that application. From what I can see of it in the picture, the blade tips don't look right to me. In any event, the 7 blade fan used for 1969 was GM #3955182 and every example of this fan that I've seen has that number stamped on one of the blades. So, if it doesn't have that number on one of the blades, that's "another strike against it".

    The GM #3955182 was used for most 1970 Corvette applications except big block with C-60. It was never used in any GM car besides Corvette, it was not used before 1969 and it was not used after 1970 (except POSSIBLY some very early 1971 small blocks and I'll believe that when I see a positively known-original).

    I can't say with respect to the fan clutch; I can't see enough of it in your picture.
