Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan

[waynew]

Thanks Wilma! Seems every expert has an opinion.
You'll have to get in line with the 3 other opinions I've had on this fan issue. If you have some GM reference that put's this issue to rest I'd appreciate it.


eBay Seller's expertise:

Wayne,
If your car is a Sept 1968 L78 396 375 HP Nova then this is the correct fan blade. GM made three different versions of this fan blade. The "H" fan is the correct fan blade for the early 1969 cars which you have. 1969 and 1970 both used the larger bolt pattern for the water pump. 1968 L78 396 375 HP Nova's also used a five blade fan but this fan was a clutch fan not a straight fan like the 1969 and 1970 cars. I hope this helps. Thank you for your interest.

Wayne, I tried to warn people about that fan as you can read above, there is no "book" evidence showing the correct fan for correct time period etc. I can tell you that according to the "experts" out there, there has never been a BB Nova fan that didn't have 5 rivets and straight cut fan blades. check www.novaresource.com. Greg Roberts has culled all the information from every expert from every corner of the country and mostly from original 68,69 and 70 untouched survivor cars. How does Jenny know there were 3 different versions of this fan?, no such info available imo. Simple popular opinion says there was the 68 only fan and then the 69-70 fan with two bolt patterns, all fans having 5 rivets and straight cut blades. Seems kind of petty, but when your spending $650 bucks on a radiator fan, you want the right piece. Just my 2 cents SULLY
