I had a similar reverse rotation flex fan on my 1980 Corvette running a TBI 305 Caprice serpentine belt system. Even with the big old 3 core radiator and the electric L82 fan it would not keep my 305 cool. Ended up using a plastic fan and clutch on it that cooled alot better. The 305 would get to 230-240 at idle with the flex fan. The plastic fan and clutch dropped it to 190-200°F. Vette was hard to cool, especially with the ac blasting.Has anybody tried this Flex-a-lite fan?

Yeah, I had one like this from J.C. Whitney back in the early 70's on my 63 Chevy with a 289. It always ran hot even in Wisconsin.

Yeah, after further research, I found out they're junk. I wound up going with the 11 blade fan and severe duty clutch.Have something similar on my ford with a blueprint 306. Does not keep up when stopped in traffic. I'd recommend anything else tbh.
Rock Auto shows the differences of them - the body and cooling fins are differentis there anyway I can distinguish these from the standard or severe duty clutches
