Clutch Fan Question
« on: April 27, 2010 - 04:36:35 PM »
I'm looking to put a clutch fan on the 340 I'm gathering parts for and I have a question about what the right type is.  If I'm reading correctly, there are at least two types: one that adjusts based on temperature, and one that doesn't and I guess just slips or not based on rpm.   Do I have this right and if so which is 'correct' for a 73 340 Barracuda?  Is one better than the other for an A/C equiped car?  A car in a warmer client like Georgia?  Don't know what other questions to ask but If you know what it is I would appreciate the answer anyway!!

Thanks in advance, Jim

Thanks, I just picked up a "Four Seasons" brand clutch fan.  Based on what I could see they are a major brand that several of the online parts houses carry.  I'm like you, I lean towards Mopar parts but I picked up the Clutch & Fan separately for around $40 which is 1/3 what the new Mopar Performance one costs and at least the fan blade is an original part.

Later, Jim
