Early A Cooling Fan Size

IIRC the factory V 8 fan measures 17 inches in diameter. I would measure one of mine except I’m about 3000 miles
away from them in Paris France.

I bought an original 65 FSM at the 89 Nationals for $50! Best investment in a book I’ve ever made. Everyone should have one for the year of their car. Bought one for a 69 and 71 as well and no longer even have those cars
