OHC 7 blade fan
This is from a 67 OHC I picked up this spring
Motor was removed from a 67 Lemans in favor of a more "popular" 400 V8 Sat outside for 15+ years, but the owner did cover the carb with an old spackle bucket!  The motor was obviously stuck from sitting outside all those years, but I was mainly interested in the power steering dual groove pulley & pump, the dual groove alternator, the water pump pulley and the A/C compressor & brackets.  I originally thought it was just an aftermarket flex fan, but it seemed strange that everything else was original. I also have the more traditional 7 blade fan.

OHC fan
The motor is stored at work; I'll check and post the numbers tomorrow.
The fan did have a spacer installed as per Jeff's parts diagram which originally made me think it was an add on. I thought the spacer would move the fan too close to the radiator. The car was definitely a 67. I was shown photos of the completed car when it was repainted. I would guess that the OHC/fan assembly could have been swapped out earlier in it's life, but it sure looked original to me. Ron

Without question it is a 67-69 Firebird fan and spacer.
Remembering the longer engine bay/nose of the Firebirds is why they used/needed a spacer.

OHC A/C 7 Blade Fan
There are 2 sets of numbers on the backside of one of the blades
The top # is stamped SC 9135697 The bottom # is stamped 9788982 The front part is simply stamped FRONT! I was told this was from a 67 Lemans, but with the aluminum spacer, it doesn't look like it would fit without hitting the radiator. Any ideas as to year or model? Ron

Will the 7 blade fan used on A body OHC work and cool ok on a F body with ac? I have a seven blade off a 67 A body OHC with air and was planning on using it on my firebird one day, but now see it was a different fan with different spacing from radiator.

7 blade A/C fan
I have the fan & spacer for the Firebird, but I own a Lemans
You have the fan for the Lemans, but own a Firebird. Looks like the making of a parts swap!  I have the fan, spacer and the 4 original bolts. pm me if interested Ron
