Many 772 clutch fans have dates? I have seen them both ways.

Deuce fans are non-numbered & non-dated! (Makes for an easier find

)

As Marlin states, no dates or p/n #'s on the Nova fans, the 69-70 Nova BB never got a clutch fan, so the 772 wouldn't be applicable. Wayne, your fan may be correct, it is just I have never seen your type fan on any BB Nova original or otherwise. Wilma, the deer called my office, says you hit him on purpose, you may have to get Catskill on the case, the deer sounds serious...SULLY

How about posting some pics of these fans you are all talking about?It would be great For us folks that are not experts and are in the process of restoring a 68 Camaro.
I have 3 different 5 blade fans and now am confused more than I was before

Thanks

In the Camaro world, all solid lifter cars got clutched fans. That's not true with L78 Nova's??
Here's more info. http://www.camaros.org/coolingsystems.shtml I wrote this for first gen Camaros, but a lot of the basic info will be applicable.

No, 69 & 70 L78 Nova's received a 5 blade non-clutch fan, makes a lot of noise too!

Sully, Wilma..anyone....
Please, in your expert opinion, describe in some detail,
what the "correct" original fan would be for my Feb, 1969 L78 Nova.

( nevermind the fact that the fan is going on the Sept. 1968
L78 engine I bought on eBay, advertised as coming from a '69 Camaro but is in reality an A3000 series block that came from an '69 Atlanta-built Chevelle ) :>

Not an expert on this, but my 70 Nova (Sept prod.) came with a 5 blade, non-clutch fan. I believe this to be correct for your application also.

Wayne,
Here's your choices.

You guys are confusing me. Marlin's reference is to the Deuces.

So what you are saying is that every Solid lifter car produced by GM in '69-'70 received a 772 clutch fan with or without a date or part number other than Novas w/ L78s?
