Hi:
Can anyone post post pics of their original fan in a 1968 396? I want to check something before I get to thinking I may have something amiss. A pic from around the wheel well of the passanger side would be perfect.
Thanks.
Hydraulic or Solid lifter and if hydraulic A/C or no A/C...
L78 so no ac and solids originally. The cam has been changed to hydraulic but I believe the fan is still the original.
Here's a good article on this subject, Mark. http://www.camaros.org/coolingsystems.shtml
L78 and Z28 should be the same one.... Clil sold one on ebay last month... there was a discussion at length on Yenko.net
Here is the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260019292460
here is the discussion... starts about half way down the page http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/158923/page/0/fpart/all/vc/1

I can provide you with a picture taken from the passenger side wheel well of an original 1968, L78 with an original fan. I have however begged, pleaded, and tried to politely remind of a need in this thread too http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=1087.msg5970#msg5970 . I will be glad to trade ;D What do you say?

Thanks for the offer on the pics. I will take you up on this. When i got my car the previous guy had blacked out the grille. We replaced it with the chromed grille. Pics attached. I can not see any part numbers on the old grille. Where are they located?

Here is the picture. Hope it is what you were looking for. Also, I would like to move the discussion regarding the grille to the thread (http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=1087.msg5970#msg5970) if we can so as to keep it all together. I will copy your response and post it there; so if you don't mind respond there please. The numbers are on the back of the headlight covers and we don't know if the center grille has a number on it. Look on the top and bottom edge for us and see if you see one there. Thanks a bunch Mark. Oh, what is your build date and is your car NOR or LOS?

Steve:
Thanks for the pic. It's exactly what i neede to know. My car is an 06C car built in Los Angeles. I have provided some documentation to Kurt as it is a numbers matching L78 (not restamped) so he has a pic of the block stamp and the cowl tag.
I am checking this from work and I will check the other thread when i get home tonight. I checked the headloght covers this morning but it was early and I don't drink coffee so maybe I overlooked the part numbers. I'll look again.

The HL cover numbers are on the back side in the middle on mine and I think on Ed's and Les' too. Thanks for taking another look.

Steve:
I posted a reply and pics on the other thread. Would it be too much trouble to ask for another pic of your fan from a little further back?
Thanks
Mark
Here is another shot but it is about as far back as I can get and still get the fan.
Steve
Thanks Steve:
I need to get a new disc for my camera so I can take a pc of mine. I have a seven blade fan and I am notsure but I think it may be on backwards. Don't know how the last guy would have done that because I think they are marked front and back. I'll have to check it out closely if my old eyes can see it.
