Brian:

I checked Haydens catalog in the fan clutch spec chart.  I see that the fan 
clutch for your car is 3.61" overall height.  They do list one that is 2.67" 
but a few of the other dimensions are slightly different, mainly the pilot 
depth, .56" instead of 1.03" on yours.  Other than that it seems pretty 
close.  Their part number is 2765.  The application is (are you ready for 
this) 82-92 Jaguar!!  So the question is, by installing one of these would 
your car suddenly require constant maintenance??

Favorite car joke: Why don't the British make TV sets?

They can't figure out how to make them leak oil!!
