    FAN FOR '64 COUPE

    Is the correct diameter 17" or 18" and does anyone have any experience with replacing the OEM rigid fan and clutch with a "flex fan" and spacer in lieu of the thermostatic clutch ass'bly? Thanks much!

      Fred -

      I'd stay away from aftermarket "flex-fans" - they have a bad reputation for shedding blades, don't move as much air as a factory fan, and are much noisier than a factory fan/clutch combination. Stick with the originally-engineered combinations.

          All 64's without air (and some with I'm told) used the 17" 5 blade fan part number 3770529. The judging guide states that sometime in 64 this fan changed from mushroom head to flat head style rivets. No estimated Vin for this change is provided.

          Cars with AC used the 18" 7 blade version part number 5853945.

              Thanks Tracy, Is the shroud the same for BOTH the 17" and 18" fan?

                  Your copy of the '64 AIM will confirm there was no change in radiator shroud for the C60 option.
