On the '36 I purchased the cooling fan is bent ( 2 blades about 60 degrees), I would like some pros and cons on what I should do, original flathead engine. put back 4- blade or could I put a 6- blade on and get better cooling? Also is the 6- blade off a pick-up only? I don't think straighting mine is a good idea is it? Thanks While I'm at it I may as well ask what fan belt # the car has a 24 stud engine and the gen. is at top

I have a 6 blade fan on my 35 Coupe. Works great but a little noisy. You get used to it. Took some modifying to adapt to my generator pulley, nothing hard. Ebay has a 6 blade fan for sale under auction 352204212602

Determine why and how the fan was damaged. Look carefully where blades are connected to hub for evidence of cracks. A damaged fan may ruin the radiator if it tosses a blade. If the cooling system is clean and the pump belt correct and tensioned correctly, a four blade fan should be ample.

onedon- Not all six blade fans will work on your '36. The passenger fan (what you will need) has a diameter of 15 3/8". The truck 6 blade has a diameter of 17". If you attempt to use the larger diameter truck fan it will hit your distributor or upper hose outlets or both. Note the pictures . Oh yes, I guess "noise" is relative but I found the extra noise very objectionable on my '35. It did help cooling somewhat. Tom
