'73 318 - clutch fan?
« on: September 22, 2014 - 11:08:36 AM »
I have a 73 challenger with a 318 and 3spd trans, did these come with clutch fans? If not, any benefits of adding one?

Does the car have A/C?  If not, it would have come with a 7 blade fixed fan and NO shroud.

Adding one(with a shroud) would give you a little more HP and possibly a little better mpg since it only locks up when you need the extra air flow.  At speed it wouldn't be engaged.

No A/C so I don't have a clutch fan or shroud. Thanks for the clarification
