FYI, also some late production 1960 Imperials had alternators.

The only 300 F’s that had an alternator were the 7 or so 4 Speeds that were built. Also, I may be wrong, but I’m thinking the 1960 Plymouth Valiants had an alternator.

Mike,

I don't know what the defintion of "near the end" is but my F was among the last 10 or so produced and it came with a generator.

The generator/alternator shop says the armature on my F's generator is shot - shorted out. Unrepairable. Do any of you have a source for a generator, or a generator for sale?

Second question: the shop says F's manufactured late in the prouction year had alternators installed. I've never heard that - any truth to it?

Viscous fans only limit how fast the fan spins in relation to engine RPM....... There are Thermostatically controlled viscous fans which also "lock up" or "tighten up" the drive of the fan related to temp. If the fan clutch has a spring in the center of it, its a thermostatically controlled fan. If not, its only a viscous fan. If a fan clutch goes bad, typically it will appear to be real loose, and may even appear to not spin in relation to the engine, if at all, at idle.. If the fan "freewheels" and has very little if any resistance (engine off of course)...... the clutch is probably bad.

Do I understand correctly that once the engine is hot the fan should become more difficult to spin as the fluid inside the clutch becomes more viscous?  Seems like mine stays rather easy to spin when stone cold or after running for some time.  Asking because the car seems to run warmer than it used to (not hot, just warmer).
