Seized Electric Clutch Fan on my 3208
Wow -
Thank you everyone for all the great responses to my question. Believe it or not, the engineer who designed our electric clutch fans in the early 80s works for a company named Sepac in Elmira, NY. His name is Mike. I spoke to him in the morning and he asked if he could take a look at my clutch. I'm going to mail it to him tomorrow. I'll let you all know how it turns out - I might be wasting my mula. I keep wondering how many horses a clutch fan robs from our already HP starved 3208 engines. I was just looking at electric fans. This fan - http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/mon...ctric.html pulls 5,500 CFM of air. Does anybody know how many CFM the stock electric clutch fan pulled when engaged? Does 5,500 CFM come close? I searched old posts and know that many people have already discussed this topic. I just wonder if some company will develop the technology to provide the same cooling electrically.

I know lots of people have converted to the Horton fan but I'm wondering what fans were available for 3208's in other applications. Ford trucks had the engine. Did they use electric or air fans? Or, did they have a viscous clutch? > > Kerry FC 35 > Denver > |
