I know the 68 Hurst was special, but I only have information from GM about the stock parts. If the cooling system was changed at Hurst these numbers may not be right, but here's what I have:
The fan is listed in GM Parts group 1.064 - part number 393996 (5 Blade)
The clutch is listed as Parts group 1.050 - part number 342754
The opinion corner:
My car originally came with a 4 blade fixed fan and lower volume water pump. It has been converted to HD water pump with 6 blade fan/clutch and fan shroud (I also had to change the water pump pulley). Unless you're going for concours points judging, I would go with best available aftermarket clutch - way cheaper than OEM NOS.

Thread HiJack:
I've not seen that ad before. I love that tagline: "Seeing is believing...Owning is unreal"
I'd like to get ahold of the advertising company that Olds used in the 70's, '80's and 90's and bitchslap each and every person there.
Olds should have hired whoever was doing Demmer's advertising in '68.
End Thread HiJack.

A six or seven bladed fan would have a clutch from the factory...different diameters too, 19 inch and 19 1/2 ?... one with a spacer is probably an after market item the fan in the pic is a seven blade with clutch.

Uh guys, why speculate, when you can look it up. Wild About Cars has all the AMA specifications for Oldsmobiles from 1964-72, and there is a specific spec for the 1968 Hurst/Olds at: http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...=9950359910638
The specs are: 6 blade; staggered; 18" with clutch. It even gives the reduction ratio for a/c and non a/c cars.
1969 is also listed at http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...=9940359910638
