I would like to caution you about using one. I had one stuck through the hood of my '70 motion one day. I was doing a short easy burnout and it threw a blade through the fan shroud and then wegged about 1/2 way through the hood.

Yeah, Bob, just curious WHY a flex fan? I'm guessing it's a vintage piece?

Nope...it was factory ! Hope it stays together !

No A/C got you the flex fan, combined with no P/S got you an entirely different braket set up for the alternator which was more compact and sturdy. No A/C also gave you smaller crank pulley and huge water pump, no P/S along with that gave you single groove. Sweet set up.

If you really want a fast car, why don't you get a Pinto. My ex girlfriend had one, may not have been fast on the street but it was in the back seat.

No I didn't buy it for speed....I'm getting up in years now so it's time to settle down https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

The GTO has a bigger back seat and for fuel you can use Viagra.

Belair would fit in the Pinto back seat just fine.

Belair It will stay together fine. I just uninstalled one in my Chevelle that I put in thousands of miles ago and it was perfect.

Belair --just curious, did that factory flex fan have a GM part number on it or did GM use an outside source?

Steve_Hoog 03-20-2004 10:37 PM

Re: 70 GTO flex fan & spacer
 
They have numbers. I even have a extra 68 that is powder coated and the blades are polished stainless if anyone needs one.

Belair62 03-21-2004 04:47 AM

Re: 70 GTO flex fan & spacer
 
Steved...I need one...do you also have the spacer ? Not too worried about the date code

The extra I have is 9791346 913487 t d68

I had the center powder coated and the blades polished, but it was over 10 years ago. It has been hanging in my garage ever since, and suffciently dirty. I may have an extra spacer, that will take a little more looking. I paid approximately $50 for the fan, $70 or so for the coating and polish. A little return on investment would be nice.

Has Belair really been in the back seat of a Pinto?

Belair62 03-22-2004 05:48 PM

Re: 70 GTO flex fan & spacer
 
I did drive a Pinto wagon when they were new !! Wagon has more leg room https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
