'Did We Miss Something At The '1967 Dodge Rebellion, And Did We Now Catch '1968' Dodge Fever'

Part 4

There is a difference in the Engine Fan assembly. The 1967 Charger uses a 'standard' 17" 4-Blade Fan,
mounted directly to the Water Pump drive.

The 'new' 1968 Charger 383 uses an 18" 7-Blade Fan, with the addition of a Fan-Clutch (Part #2863216).

The 7-Blade Fan provides addittional cooling, and the Fan-Clutch reduces drag on the Engine, which helps
prevent Horsepower 'loss', resulting in a saving of (5 to 7 Horsepower).

We found no other mechanical differences between the 1967 Charger 383, and the 1968 Charger 383,
as the transmissions, clutches and shifters are identical.

The only other item, was that the 1967 Charger does come through with the Tachometer as 'standard equipment',
while this is an 'option' on the 1968 Charger.
