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 been
thinking of putting on a stock Mopar five blade clutch fan. The
after-market blade
seems to work perfect and is only a few months old. But I have been hearing
more
and more stories about them braking off and destroying the engine
compartment.
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.
