Correct fan for 64 tri-power
What is the correct cooling fan for a 64 GTO with tri-power? I've seen cars with the 7 blade "bent tip," notched tip and straight blade. Is one the correct fan or are all correct depending on the factory and production date?

Very confusing situation. To begin with, I believe all early '64's were built with steel bent-tip fans. There was a service update directing dealers to change these to aluminum-blade fans. This meant some '64 GTO's got bent-tip aluminum fans, straight-blade aluminum fans, or notched straight-blade aluminum fans ('65 variety).
The '64 GTO that I bought new had a straight-blade aluminum fan, no shroud. It was a May build, 3.90 rearend, metallic brakes, four barrel, four speed, and heavy duty fan & radiator (mandatory). I'll work on the invoice copy to present a bigger image later.

I've had several 64s earliest build was February latest build was July, as memory serves I think all had the bent tip aluminum fans no shroud ,all were Pontiac built cars . note though I bought most of my GTOs from the mid 70s through the mid 80s a few were purchased from the original owners but not all.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
