Title: C8OE-B fan clutch application
Post by: cbrown on August 27, 2018, 01:07:44 PM
Was the C8OE-B used on 68 gt 500krs?    The reason I ask is I had an older gentleman just call me and wanted to buy one of mine  for his 68 gt500kr  and said his original one had  that part number.

thanks chris

The fan blade is C8OE-B

But the clutch is C8OE-C

The C8OE-C and C8ZX-A are the AC versions

I dont think the the -B clutch is out of the question on a KR

Pete, I also now have the C8oE-B fan clutch which is the smaller diameter .  I think is 68.5 application as well as 390.  I am wondering if you think any of the 428cj (KRs) came with it.  Kinda the same car.  This guy has had this car for years  and says its all original .  YOU know how that goes though !!

Chris. If KR came with one it would not be typical. The B was used on non KR CJs (and 390s) KRs used C and C8ZX A. The intent was C for non AC and ZX A for ac but there have been a few that came opposite

I have also seen one on an unrestored early May built KR. If I see the car again, I will get the number.
