Re: Four Blade Fan
More than you ever wanted to know about the 4 bladed fan. The 4 cylinder vehicles in 1932 used a 2 blade fan that was the same as the last configuration used for the Model A. In 1933 a new fan was released (P/N 46-8600). This is the fan listed in the Green Bible for 1928 to 1934 four cylinder engines. This use as a replacement by Ford explains why there are so many 4 bladed fans around while the production of 4 cylinder vehicles in 1933-34 was small (mostly trucks). The fans from Ford are riveted, the ones with bolts are aftermarket.
