Jim, find a T/R 4 = "Tropical Fan" = its 6 bladed and fits straight-up, they
are hard to find, but, they are out there, also a Volvo 122-S, has a high
pitch 6 bladed fan, you need only to file out 2 of the holes for a perfect
fit. Many Volvo yards listed in Hemmings. They both look a lot better on
your car than 2 yellow plastic fan from a 6.
