While the cooling fan can be seen on the microfiche parts film I have yet to see one in almost 50 years as a Datsun/Nissan mechanic.  

What's up with this recent barrage of posts?  Your post rate has increased exponentially!

Does anyone have a drawing of the fan?  Does it look like the ZX fan, mounted on the valve cover?

Banzi Motorworks.

Actually it's spelled Banzai

It is REALLY disappointing that some members choose a negative approach to replying to members.

Do I KNOW or have met @zspert ? No, But do I have a suspicion he DOES know what he is talking about.

As I said, the fan can be seen on the Datsun/Nissan microfiche.

Sorry, I will always remember this now.

No offense intended zspert.  I thought it was a humorous way to acknowledge that you've been a member for 15 years, and that your last two posts (50% of your content at the time  of my post) were in 2013.  Then you posted two within minutes of each other.  In person, it might have been "dude, where have you been?!".  Which some people probably would think is rude, if they were present.  Humor can be a complex subject.  Welcome (back) to the forum.  You can probably add a lot, with your experience, if you want to, and can stand an occasional joke.

Not all of us have the microfiche.  So, if anyone wants to share, feel free.

p.s. I'm not saying there isn't a fan.  I just want to see what it looks like and where it mounts.

YES!!!  You are so right.

I'm trying to do better but it's hard.  My humor is as dry as a weeks worth of whoring. 

Sorry folks, not trying to sound like a jerk, sorry. I'll get back to everyone next week with details about the fan system. My fiche reader is at my shop and I'm off until Wed.  Happy New Year.

Here is the optional fan from my parts CD.
