Friends,

The big ole a/c clutch on my '59 Imperial appears to have shorted out. I have seen these replaced with the more modern smaller diameter RV clutches, such as the '61 Chryslers use. Can anyone confirm that or tell me what replacement would work? Mine is is a single groove, but I think one groove of the double pulley lines up. I know just enough here to get into trouble!

Thanks,

Rex

Get a hold of Original Air and see about just having yours rebuilt. Might cost a hundred or more but worth to me not worth the headache of trying to unknown.

The newer clutches work fine. You may need shorter belts though. I did it on my 59 New Yorker.

Have you checked the brush holder to make sure it's not the source of the short?
