The type of clutch you need depends on your application. What is your combo? Car, eng, a/c, or no ect. I pt a clutch fan on my 73 318 wagon (3 speed manual,no a/c no powr steering) and it ran hotter than the basic 8 blade. Watching this with interest..

Interestingly, in my last MP catalog, for part number P4120758, at the end of the description it says “not for street use”.
My understanding is this was sold as a “horsepower saving” package, not factory replacement type package.

If memory serves (it's been 6 years), original application for the clutch was a 6 cylinder vehicle, and it is designed to slip and save power. The 5 blade fan was used on v8 M bodies, and is fine for most apps. If that is all right, my next step would be to check the 4-series OE part number above to see if it supersedes to the new OE number you were shipped. I'm thinking it most likely does not
