RE: [Chrysler300] need fan clutch for G

["C Bilter" <cbilter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andy is correct on this one.  If the fit on a G is the same/similar as a J
(I suspect it is), the Hayden 2705 (which is actually specified for some
late model GM cars) will fit and work just fine.  It is available at most
any parts store for less than $35.  This is a thermal clutch and that is
what you want for best cooling and engine hp.  The aftermarket listings in
the current parts books are completely incorrect for the '59-'65 413s.  The
fan clutches the parts books list will not fit as they are way too thick and
appear to be designed for the later 440 engine applications 1966 and up.

Do you want a correct one, or one that fits and works?

Sounds like there's more wiggle room on a G. I have a box for one I bought
for the G a long time ago, non-thermal type. It's about 1/4" thicker (front
to rear, mounted) than the original. Seems to me a lot of later Chrysler
applications will fit. Box has these numbers:

Hayden 2705
Four Seasons 36952
Murray 271305
Kool Clutch 115049
Everco A8198
Temp-Guard TFC-49

Jay, I recently made up a one-time run of clutches modified specifically 
for the C & D cars, and several members bought one. I don't know just 
what the parameters are for a clutch to fit the G, but they can't 
possibly be harder to accommodate than the Cs and Ds were. At least 
you've got a little more room between the radiator and the engine.

You can go online to the Hayden or Imperial or Four Seasons (they are 
all the same company) websites and download their available clutches and 
specifications. With your old clutch and a vernier calipers in hand you 
can compare about 10 different measurements to their chart, and I'll bet 
you can come up with one that does the job for you. You'll have to poke 
your way through their list of 150 different ones for an hour or two, 
but you'll get there. Oh, and if there is a choice, go for a "thermal" 
activated one to get much better cooling than a non-thermal one will 
give you.

Good luck.
