Hi Don,
I called Kramers but got the answering machine. I left Cindy a message to call you. Their message says that they are swamped and a fax is the best way to go.
If nothing else, I will stop and get their attention on the way to the race at Lernerville May 25.
BTW - I tried the normal clutch fan too. It is about 2" too long, but would be fine in a 66. Year One says that it will work, but that is based on Flex-A-Lite's web site which their tech guys admit is wrong on a lot of stuff. Linders use a 7 blade plastic flex fan that a lot of the local dirt track racers use. I think I'm going to try one of them next.
Best regards,
Joe Huff

===========================================================
The Mopar Performance setup is taller than the ones that fit the '65 B-Bodies. Tried to put one on the RB engine in my '65 Belvedere which is pretty much a cloned 426 wedge car and wouldn't fit. I found an original (it fits) and its about 1 1/2 to 2 inches shorter.

Hello all, I have an after-market flex fan on my 383 now. I have beenafter-market blade

So my question is would the $100 spent on a new MP clutch fan bring me any returns other than peace of mind. Like will it cool better? or any other attributes I may gain from switching over? Thank you for any opinions. Stu
