Tropical Fan Clutch ALL ALL

The tropical fan clutch just engages sooner. The part # is 1357433.

Volvo gets a bunch for these. I sell them for $120.00. There is also a tropical fan that has a higher angle of attack. I don't know that part # but it's available too. Back in the early 80's with the introduction of turbos, this fan clutch was recommended for turbos w/hot running complaints. JV knows about that. JV?

Baffling the radiator is no more than adding pieces of metal inside the tanks of the radiator. (both sides) A good radiator shop can do that for you. The new replacement 3 row radiators don't impress me much. They call them ''high efficiency'' but I think the tube spacing is too close. I'd rather see tube spacing of about 5/8'' (16mm) than closer.

There's no such thing as ''overkill'' when it comes to radiators, for my money.
