The last one I bought came from Schucks/Checker over the counter. It cost
about $35.00. I may have been lucky, but I never have had difficulty getting
that part. It probably fits many different newer cars/trucks/motor homes. All
factory A/C cars came with one. Some folks also added them to their non A/C
cars, but it shouildn't have been necessary to do that. If you don't want to
deal with a parts counter, try the web.
fAN CLUTCH MAY BE THE ISSUE - NOW, WHERE TO FIND ONE..aNYONE WITH A PART
NUMBER AND/OR SOURCE?

I had an auxiliary electric fan in my '77 LTD Police Interceptor, which
