Alternator Fan - Correct with Hook - 68-69 All GM Cars

Description

Alternator Fan – Correct with Hook (“Shark Fin”) – 1968–1969 GM Models | CHQ Product Offered by AMD

Restore factory-correct engine bay detail with this 11-blade Alternator Fan with the distinctive hooked (“shark fin”) blade, a technically correct reproduction manufactured by Classic Headquarters (CHQ) and offered by Auto Metal Direct (AMD). This hard-to-find fan accurately replicates the original GM design used on many 1968–1969 GM vehicles, featuring the correct hooked blade, OE-gauge steel construction, and exact-fit geometry.

Produced using proprietary tooling, this fan delivers superior balance, correct blade profile, and authentic appearance compared to generic aftermarket alternatives. It is a direct replacement for GM Part Number 1969488 and is ideal for detail-oriented restorations where correctness matters.

PROShop Note: This hooked fan was factory installed on many GM cars from 1968 through early-to-mid 1969. GM transitioned to the smooth, non-hooked fan during mid-to-late 1969, so verification of original configuration is recommended for concours accuracy.

If your application requires the later smooth 11-blade fan without the hook, see AMD part #R-300.
