Correct fan blade??
The 18" seven-bladed fan is correct for A/C, but I'm unsure which part number is correct. The 1978 Chasis & Body Parts Catalog Chevy Corvette 1953-1978 shows 1963-66 w/C.A.C. and 1966-68 (327) w/C.A.C.--------3931002. The 1965 Judging Guide gives Part# 3853943. The 1965 Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) gives Part# 5853943. Looks like the Guide or the AIM has a typo. Maybe Part# 3853943/5853943 superseded Part# 3931002? Does someone know which part number is correct?

Thanks John. There is a seven-bladed fan (Part# 3931002) on eBay which I'd like to bid on:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=
The 1978 Catalog does show it's correct for my application. Have any idea if Part# 3853943 (not in Catalog) superseded Part# 3931002?
By the way, "Smiles" and all text attributes, Link, Images, etc., are all disabled. Unable to click on them. Any idea why?

I actually won the 3931002 for $130!! 
I think I paid close to $300 on the one from Paragon.
They were the only one making the 3853943 blades: they are no longer available. Confirmed this with Long Island Corvette. So, I guess I'll sell the Paragon one.
Correction to my previous post: Part#3931002 has to supersede Part# 3853943 because it is a higher number.
