Is a Fan Clutch Matched to a Thermostat ???
I was wondering if the fan clutch is matched to a thermostat temperature ?
My BB came with a 180 degree tehrmo - and my car stil has the factory clutch.
I used a 160 thermo when I replaced the radiator and the clutch wil only engage when the radiator temp approaches 180-190 ..
Can I have the clutch adjusted to operate at a lower temperature ?
Thanks
