Re: IML: fan clutches

["mike sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just go to the parts store and ask them if they have a buyers guide ( this 
would presume they actually have catalogs and can read ) for the fan clutch 
brand they sell.  Then, go to the listings and look at the length dimensions 
from  the  base that bolts to the water pump to the flange where the fan 
attaches.

Back when Mopar performance was Direct Connection they sold a " universal " 
fan clutch thru Direct Connection for any mopar v-8.  It may still be 
listed, I dont know.  Anyway,  for another of our Mopars it was a bit on the 
short side and the fan was further from the radiator than we wanted.  We 
went to a parts store and went thru the buyers guide to find one with a 
slightly longer shaft length.

Btw,  nearly all of the older rear drive v-8 cars - regardless of brand - 
use the same bolt spacing at the fan pulley on the water pumps and turn in 
the same direction  so the fan clutch doesnt have to know what car it was 
originally meant to fit... a fan clutch isnt that smart anyway.

Good luck
