Their website shows this available & ships in 5 days. Part number 4846, price $60.99. It fits all Imperials from 60-75 as well many other applications.----- Original Message -----From: randalpark@xxxxxxxSent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 11:10 AMSubject: IML: Fan ClutchThe last one I bought came from Schucks/Checker over the counter. It cost about $35.00. I may have been lucky, but I never have had difficulty getting that part. It probably fits many different newer cars/trucks/motor homes. All factory A/C cars came with one. Some folks also added them to their non A/C cars, but it shouildn't have been necessary to do that. If you don't want to deal with a parts counter, try the web.Paul W.
