RE: [Chrysler300] Speaking of Fan Clutches

[whuff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a response to a query I made to a fellow I bought an NOS 
thermal clutch fan from.  I had asked why the part wasn't listed for 
'70-'73.  Could be some folks have been getting fan clutches from these years?

Bill Huff


Bill,
My books tell me that 1970-73 call for a taller fan clutch. It will 
work just fine, it's just a little shorter.
Thanks,
Mike-planetautoparts
