Back side.

I called and was told Chrysler now uses the one I got and they haven't updated their website.

I returned it today. I was told I wouldn't be charged the 15% restocking fee but I think the shipping both ways is going to be tough to recover.

I just received my fan. I thought the viscous fan kits were a five blade fan, however I received a six blade fan. Also there is a sticker on the one fan blade that states that the maximum rpm for the fan is 4,000 rpm. Is this right?



On the max RPM, I understand the viscous drive acts as a speed governor when engine RPM gets high. As a general observation this basic setup is used on a lot of warmed up engines, mine included, without problem.

My car will see time at the strip. Do you see this as a problem? I don't really feel comfortable with that rating and as stated earlier by Floyd, the fan seems to be very low quality.

I know the factory fan/clutch as well as Hayden replacement thermal/viscous clutches can take strip time. Don't know about that particular unit. If not sure, I'd suggest return it and find a JY fan and match it up with a Hayden clutch from NAPA.

I understand the late 70's 318/360 used a fan that is same/similar to the 5 blade MP used to offer. If you need more cooling, there are 7 blade fans. I have one from my '78 400 core out of a Cordoba. The 7 blade would need the heavy duty replacement clutch.

Bouchillon used to offer a 6 blade fan also.
