I hate to correct the man I look to for MY info, but
I think the fan varied through the 4A run. I have CT73336L (fairly
late in the run) and I have a metal 4 blade fan that I am positive is
original to the car. (1 previous owner - my father- and only 28448
miles.) Maybe very close to the end of the run (when they were
gearing up for the 6 cyl engine) they used the 6 blade plastic fan.
I wonder when/how the change-over was made. Was it
random fitment with the first fan the mechanic laid his hands on,
or was there an abrupt cut-off.
