67 clutch fan dating

[Mike E.]

I'm helping on a May-built 67, 300hp California car. The clutch fan (type 2) has the proper "CJ" stamped on it. It also has what appears to be B13H. Can anyone decipher that? I checked the archives, but found nothing apropos. Obviously B13 could be a date, and fits the car. (The fan blade has a "D" stamped in it.)
Thanks in advance.

Mike:

Info in my files indicates that the first letter is the month, the number is the day of the month, and the last letter is the year.......beginning with 1960 = A.

B13H would then decode as February 13, 1967.

Not sure about the fan blade.

Hi Mike
Good date as Larry mentioned.
The stamp on the blade should be a "W".

The W is there, on the center portion, not too far from the hub. The D is stamped only on one blade.
Has anyone else seen a single letter stamped on the blade of one of these fans? I've had a bunch of 62's, and never seen that.

No Mike, I've not seen a "D" and cannot any reference to a "D" in the manuals, books or publications.

Mike,

Can you post a picture of what that date code looks like? I do not know if I have ever seen one.

Hi Joel,

I'll try to get in tommorrow, I need to take more shots anyway.
Maybe someone can jump in sooner.

I agree Rev Mike...never seen a factory original fan with any emboss on the blades EXCEPT for 7-blade A/C fans. The 5-blade fan used in '67 is the SAME part number as you're used to seeing on your '62.

The only difference between your SA fan and the '66-70 version of the same PN is the geometry of the rivets used to affix the blades to the center spider...

Best, Jack Humphrey

Thanks Mike!

The weather by me has probably been about the same as yours so I understand completely. No hurry, but I'd love to see a photo when the weather gets better.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Thanks so much for the picture and email. Any chance you can post a picture of the B13H on the clutch as well?

All the best,

Joel,
I can't seem to be able to get to the barn.
Please find the link below showing a date stamp, faint, but should be what you are looking for.
