I tried again, THIS was a car show, IF I recall correctly, they said they had 170 total entries, bikes, cars, 5hitrolets, NoPars, AMCs, pretty good mixture. Album SHOULD start w/the 'Baby Bird' & end w/the purple carriage. Long story, had a big hassle getting this album to spacebook, so I don't know what all is in it!

Hatchlings / Had my Eagle for a week now
Last post by Frankt - September 17, 2025, 07:39:14 PM
Had my 83 Limited wagon for a week now. I am beginning to think that this 19k mile gem would make a cool daily driver. Runs, drives handles like new. 19 mpg city. Great,  comfortable interior.power everything, ice cold A/C. Everything that we take for granted in our modern cars. Wife is happy w cupholders, (period correct that hang on the door panel). Arm rest btwn the front seats, and now blue tooth FM transmitter that can handle hands free phone calls and her Sirius radio from her cell that play thru the car speakers. . Love this bird.

Quote from: vangremlin on September 17, 2025, 11:08:34 AMI think I got mine from NAPA several years ago, they offer both thermostatic and centrifugal versions, not sure if one might be more "heavy duty" than the other.  They also offer spacer kits, which might work as a clutch delete?  Seems to me i have seen universal spacers available on the internet.  Good luck!
Thank you!

Quote from: EagleSX4_5Speed on September 16, 2025, 11:39:07 PMWhen I got a new fan clutch I just went to AutoZone and it has been working great. I can't compete with Arizona temps but it has worked well in up to 98°F for the last 3 years I have had it on my car. I do have a 4.0 but kept the 4.2 v-belt accessories. The part # I got is Duralast 922615. I also have a Duralast fan clutch on my Comanche and it also does well.

Thanks. The hottest I've seen is 230 after sitting in almost the same spot for probably 5 minutes. I think that day was 101.
