I'm going to a local Corvette parts shop in the next week and wanted to verify some info I found in the Board Archives. This post was by Joe Lucia and stated that for a 68 BB fan, the following is correct.
P/N: 3888366, 17.5" diameter, 3" bolt circle pattern, 2 3/8" diam. center hole. Also there is no p/n embossed on the fan, however there is "front" and "H" embossed on the hub.
Besides a verification of this info. What else should I look for? How do I know I'm buying the proper part and not some other GM fan (or was this fan used on other GM vehicles)?
As far as the fiberglass question. The previous owner cut a circular hole in the hood for a velocity stack and when I purchased the vehicle, the original "cut out" was re-installed. However, the cut is showing along with other hood modifications. I want to show the car and want to know if the hood should or could be repaired to show quality (remember both sides will be visible) or should I find a replacement? And if I go with a replacement, were 68 hoods unique among C3's?
Sorry for the long list of questions.
