Re: Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan
I found some helpful info in
"The Definitive 1969 Camaro Z/28-SS396 Fact Book" by Jerry MacNeish. On pages 39 & 40, the author discusses the correct Camaro "772" clutch fan. He describes and provides pictures of 2 correct versions. A stamped/dated fan with flat bottom blade and what appears to be 5 rivets, and a non-stamped with notched bottom blade and 4 rivets. I quote the author, "Technically speaking, both fan assemblies would be correct for 302, 396 and 427 solid lifter engines." So until someone writes "The Definitive 1969 396 Nova Fact Book" I'm hoping that the same 2 fan versions were correct for non-clutch 1969 L78 Novas. Hey...maybe the non-stamped version is even harder to find. Any other info would be appreciated. Wayne

Re: Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan
Many 772 clutch fans have dates? I have seen them both ways.

Re: Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan
Deuce fans are non-numbered & non-dated! (Makes for an easier find
 )

Re: Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan
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

Re: Bogus BB Nova 5 Blade Fan
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?
