Default is this the right fan for my 64?

i have a 64 coupe with a 365hp engine. the nose has been replaced with what i believe to be a 66 nose. this is the fan that was on the engine. can anyone tell me if it is correct for a 64?

The rivets and the markings look correct. What is the overall size of the fan. It should be 17 1/8

@Nowhere Man look at the pic with the tape. it is almost 9 to the center. my car dose not have a/c. would the fan clutch have numbers or marking on it?

18" five blade fan was used on '67 A/C cars. Moves a ton of air. I'd clean it up and use it.

I agree with Leif, 18" fan blade used on the A/C cars, the round head rivets were used in the early sixties and I believe that fan was also used on the 409 Impala.
If the car is not a factory A/C car it would not be correct but I think it would work fine. There must be an engineering reason why the fan blades on the Corvettes were 1" smaller, maybe noise.
