I have a 70 challenger 383 and trying to determine how it would have come with. Also like to mention that the FSM references cars with air conditioning have the fluid drive fan, no mention of HP cars. Thanks Norm Last edited by gygeneral; 04/04/10 03:25 PM.

The performance cars without A/C used the fluid drive. It is listed on the Broadcast sheet. 5910145-70-71FanDriveUnits.jpg (36 downloads)
