Re: [Amc-list] 327 water pump

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

I'm reasonably sure they mean a fan clutch. AMC didn't use it in 62, but may have used it later, or it could be a Kaiser Jeep thing (AMC didn't own Jeep when Jeep used the 327 V-8 in Wagoneers). I'm with Tom -- they collapsed the part book numbers and show the pumps as fitting all AMC 327s, which they do. But you need the right one! So just order "w/o auto fan" and you should be fine. Either that or go through one of the vendors or an antique vendor like Kanter, who may know a bit more about the cars and have the correct part listed.

Isn't that just fan clutch? Did Rambler have those in 62?! Sounds like
parts-book-collapse to me.
