Re: Fan Clutch for 65 Fuel Injection Vette
When the engine is throughly warmed up see if tge fan turns easily. If it does, you probley need a new/rebuilt one. Only person I know that rebuilds is Fred Oliva in FLA. foliva@gate.net

Re: Fan Clutch for 65 Fuel Injection Vette
As Roger states, start the engine & warm it up to normal operating temperature. Then, with the engine at idle, shut the engine down & observe the fan. The fan should stop within 3 revolutions of the engine stopping.
Failing usually will freewheel for many revolutions. There will be no 'middle ground' so to speak. It will either windmill like crazy or will stop within 3 turns.
Hope this helps.
