Ok, so I went out and took a close look at my fan and pulley. They are
both painted the same darker blueish/greenish color. So, if someone
changed the fan, they changed the pulley too. My recollection however is
that they matched the color of the engine before I first rebuilt it.
And, I don't believe there are many, if any, other pulleys are out there
that will fit the Alpine water pump with the correct Alpine offset. So, I
am standing by my belief that this fan is stock for a very late Series V.
I remember someone else had a very late Series V too. Can you confirm
what your fan is, or do I have to resign myself to the fact that I have
the LAS Option fan? - specially designed for the hotter LA climate (with
the chrome worn off, of course).

On a similar note, my pulley is 6" in diameter. I remember reading
somewhere that they changed the diameter when they switched from generator
to alternator.
