[Chrysler300] 300 K water pump and fan dimensions

["ALLAN POZDOL apozdol@xxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings fellow 300 K owners. I have searched the archives and did not find the dimensions for the water pump and the thermo fan clutch with AC.

I bought from Rock Auto and my parts match what they are saying are the correct dimensions correct. (Mistakenly, I tossed my old parts moths ago. DOH!)

The Gates water pump measures 3.07" from the base to the fan hub surface. 

I bought an AC Delco thermo clutch 1580250 and it too measures as stated, 2.03" from hub mount surface to fan mount surface. 

Those listing specs all jibe with my parts I got from them. The front of the clutch sits proud of the front of the fan blades about 1/4" when I lay it flat on the ground..

But, The parts manual gives another number 2402848 before before serial # 205610 at 2.03" and after # 205610 (What's this, last six numbers of the serial # ?) of 2536677. This latter number doesn't show up on Rock Auto for as an alternate OEM number. My car was built in Jan. 1964.

I dropped the radiator in first and no way does the fan go in, no chance of any clearance. Same with installing the fan and trying to drop the radiator in. I pulled the radiator with the fan in place.

Anyone else run into similar issues when blindly replacing parts?

Allan
