69 Chevelle Questions...

Thanks again for all the input...much appreciated.

Regarding the shroud...it doesn't seem 'deep' enough to me...the fan blade barely fits inside...and the blades look they would be dangerous. I'm wondering if someone 'trimmed' this part down???

Can you confirm depth...?? current one is 2.5 inches...repro unit state 3.25...that would at least cover a little more of the fan.

Any clue what the fan I listed is from?? He should probably get the correct 772??

Here's a few pix I just snapped. In order.. I hope.

All these set ups are factory and the fans don't recess into the shrouds all that much. None of these cars have overheating issues. Hope this helps.

1. 1969 396/325 hp fixed pitched fan, no clutch
2. 1969 396/L89 thermostatic fan
3. "
4. 1969 350/300 hp Malibu with factory shroud and theremostatic fan
5. "

PS. I threw the Malibu in for future reference if someone needs it.

Thanks for the photos...

Where is the best place to get the fixed blade fan and spacer shown in the first photo..?? This is a 396/325hp car...no A/C. Seems like that would be the simplest solution and we keep the factory fan shroud.

thanks

I may have a fan and possibly a spacer but not 100% sure. I can post pictures here if someone can confirm what it is for.

Rick...

Please post what you have so we can take a look...I would rather see my friend get real parts if possible.

Thanks...Tom

Tom,

For what it is worth, you might be just as well off to get a 772 fan and a new clutch and you are done. Just a thought.

Rick, I'll compare my 70 L34 and 69 L35 to see if the fan and spacer are the same.

The spacer is 1" wide and the fan, right around 18" in diameter.
