Re: How many fan blades in thermal fan clutch 79 350
My 75 350 with auto trans and AC has 7. The other common option is 5. Go for 7 with a standard duty clutch. IMO, a HD clutch locks up at too cool a temp. With a standard clutch, temps stay good even on 105* days running the AC and towing stuff.
Another benefit is no roaring fan noise running down the road.
Don't think there is any difference on the fan/clutches until they switched to the serpentine setups.
Most aftermarket temp senders don't play well with the OEM gauges. There are many threads on the subject.
