I would like to know how close in appearance the new GM AC Delco fan clutch that can be bought through GM or most of the Corvette vendors compared to the original that is on my 1964 327/300 Corvette convertible.
I was putting on a judging seminal last Friday night at our chapter meet using my car and when I went to check the fan clutch for bearing wobble it had quite a lot of fore and aft play. This is my original fan clucth that Fred Oliva rebuilt/restored for me and it has only 2000 miles on it. I would have expected it to last longer than that! I called and left a messege for Fred on Saturday to see if he can repair it before I leave for the Nationals in Salt Lake City, but I have received no response from him. This is why I want to know how close in appearance the new GM fan clutch is to the original as this looks to be my only choice at this late date.
Any input/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James West
