I just recieved my 5 blade w/o clutch that came off a 1969 and I know that this subject has been covered with the exception of something different about this one that is unlike the others I have seen posted on this site that fellow BB Nova owners might find interesting. The Fan I have is Identical in every way with the exception of the "W" and "TW" stampings in which this one does not have. The only stamping I can find on this fan is a small number "9" stamped on one blade. I was educated on this site about many things about these cars so I thought I would share this finding.

Checked out some of my fans tonite and couldn't find any "9". maybe you could post closeup..was the "9" on the front or back?

I know this is a little off the subject, but I have an
original '772 7-blade fan that I personally removed from
an all original 69 big block Impala. This fan matches
others I have in my collection and it has no markings on
it what-so-ever.

Hi Tom.......Here is the best I can do on the pic. It is stamped on the rear of one of the blades, it is possible it is a "6" but seeing the guy I got it from says it was on a 69 I believe it is a "9". As I stated earlier it is void of the "W" and "TWI"

Here is a little better one.

Always something new to learn in this hobby..it just might be a 69 thing..I will ask Wayne and see what he thinks. Thanks for posting the photos.

I checked mine last night.It has the W or M and also has a faint s or not completely formed 9 on the backside of one of the blades.Hard part to find.Looked for it for 4 years.Also very very expensive.Bob
