Yes. I've seen that fan on several original cars also

Maybe the copy editor wrote that 'declutching' fan, when it basically meant a non-thermostatic fan?
The parts book say it's either a thermostatic type for AC/HD or just give the size of the blades or number of blades. The description in the pic I posted is kind of vague on what it was.

My car had a 19" 4 blade fan but I have no idea if it's original. When we acquired the car in 1988, it had a 1967 WZ engine with 670 heads so I've always assumed the fan came with the engine. I'll never know what actually happened though... |

John, I believe the description you posted was simply the standard Firebird 400 description, and they added the term "Ram Air".
In the Pontiac Parts Book, it shows the 19" 4-blade unit. Mike

Great stuff - love the "As Raced" paint scheme - too bad they didn't restore it back to that.

Hemmings MMOY
Hey guys-
I wanted to make sure everyone gets their vote in soon for the Hemmings Muscle Machine of the Year! There are beautiful cars in the running. Each has a unique story behind the car. From the first time I saw the article about Jim Mino's '68 RA II, I was amazed! Unbelievable story and a stunning car! My vote is for the Firebird! Good luck Jim! hemmings.com/mmoy |

Cool Ted!
Was this at the show at Garlit's Museum earlier this year? Do you have the dealer number and zone from the phs on your car?
