Max wedge fans, what is correct?

I bought the MP viscous fan package with the 5 blade fan and it doesn't pull enough air as the Hemi gets a little warmer than I'd like. I was told to put a correct 7 blade viscous fan on it from the max cooling package or the max wedge aluminum viscous fan. Does anyone know the diameter and if the fan is supposed to be all aluminum. I bought this on ebay (see attachment) I'm now questioning if this is a Mopar fan and would it be correct for the max cooling packaged cars. Thanks for the help. :confused:

My '69 factory hemi fan is 18" and the blades are steel. But I noticed that the picture you posted has 3 rivets holding the blades. Mine has 4. Does that help?

The fan they used on the 68 SS Darts was part # 2585375 and they had 7 aluminum blades with 4 rivets in each blade operated by a non-thermostatic torque-drive clutch fan unit part # 2806070.

Does your car have a fan shroud?

I can't speak about a 64 or a Hemi, but my 1963 Doge Polara 500 Max Wedge has the correct four blade fixed ( no clutch ) fan. There is no fan shroud.

Anyone check Moser's site, they have some really up close shots of the fans they use?
