Hello Gent's

One more thing that will move a bunch more air across the coils, is the Tropical Fan Clutch also known as the "Swamp Cooler". When it is installed you can stand by the fender with the hood up and feel a good breeze from the fan. With the Bosch AC pusher fan running you feel a bit more air moving. But this thing really improves the air flow. Installs right were the old clutch is now and all you need to install is a screwdriver to move the cowling back and a 10mm wrench. Maybe a magnet to pick up those little nuts when they drop.

Read about the Swamp Cooler here on the BB for a couple of years and finally busted down and ordered one from Dave Barton along with a set of window seals for the doors. Could not help myself and got a 200K "Prancing Moose" sticker. Too lazy to go a dealer and order the sticker, and too cheap to pay $25 for a metal badge I guess. Dave shipped right away and he took Paypal, so if you are tempted to make the leap I give him a thumbs up.

Keep it cool!

Regards,

Paul
