I checked to see what I had, but only had one good one. And I need that
one. The one that came off my '66 has a worn keyway.
In cleaning up my one good one, I noticed that it does have small
balance weights spot welded in between a couple of the vanes. They are
kinda diamond shaped, and you can make out the spot welds on the back
side of the fan. You might look to see if your has thrown one of those
weights.
