RE: [Chrysler300] Water pumps

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I spent a few minutes in the '55-'58 parts book and see a wide variety of
driving and driven pulley diameters depending on whether or not the car has
p/s and/or a/c.  Making sure all pulleys, spacers and brackets are
appropriate to the equipment on the car would be a good idea.  '55-'58 hemi
impellers are different for each year, but have the same 10 bladed for a/c
or no a/c within each year, so any flow rate difference must be done with
pulley arrangements.  There is a spacer shown for the fan itself in some
years, the fan shroud is different for a/c cars (fully boxed) and the
radiator core is different for a/c cars.  Fans have more blades on a/c cars.
Fan belts vary all over the map, depending on p/s &/or a/c.  '55-'56 have
three different vibration dampers.

Hello all,
There has been a lot of talk about water pumps. Is the pulley on the water
pump the same size on AC & non AC cars? Are the pulley size on the Harmonic
balancer the same size? Did they use the same pulley on different engines
like the 413 and 383? I've got questions but not answers. I know many of us
have had problems with over heating, maybe sometimes it is because of the
combination of pulleys and pumps.
