Mark,

Andrew has two very good points. They can't do either. The only 
difference I've found, If my memory is as good as I think it is (HAH!) 
is that the plastic fan doesn't have the keying flat that the metal one 
does.It's not a deal breaker. I've usedboth in my '67 roadster and can't 
tell the difference. Output is about the same. I might warn against 
going to the SUPER! IMPROVED! UPGRADE! The upgradefans that the usual 
suspects are selling don't quite fit through the hole in the front of 
the heater box and the screw holes they provide don't quite match up 
with the originals. So if you have a problem with it you have to take 
the whole box out in order to remove the fanand move the mounting holes 
(at your expense). The original just slips out the front of the box, 
easy as you please.
