Default Flex Fan

I do not know if the 7 bladed Flex fan is original or not. My 66 Lemans Sprint with A/C used a 7 Bladed fan that was longer. No P.N's on the fan either just the word FRONT on the front face of the hub.
The 3rd picture is of the spring mounted on the exhaust manifold butterfly valve. I don't think it is original as all my past cars that still had one were more of a "clock" spring type. Also it is not working, the valve was jammed into the closed position forcing all of the front 3 cylinders exhaust gasses into the intake manifold heat riser. Going to have to fix that. The good news is the small post that keeps the spring tension is the best one I have ever seen, they are usually corroded away.
