    Dan Kirkconnell in FLA was/is the guy but I believe he has passed on the business recently to his son in law. I have met Dan..top notch guy.

          Keith, Bob, and Dale,

          Sounds like Dan Kirkconnell is the lead contender so far. Could you please give me Dan's contact info?

          Thanks,
          Mike

                  Mike,
                  I went thru this and I suggest you buy a reproduction unit. I recently had one rebuilt and now I use it as a paper weight. There is another guy in NM that restores these too from what I understand. I put a reproduction unit on my car, it now cools well and does not leak.

                    That is correct. I spoke to Dan's SIL on Thursday to send in the clutch from my 67. He is located in MO. The website has the updated contact information.

                      Thanks Tim for the website. I've been planning on contacting Russ in MO for prices etc.

                      Kurt, do you have the name/contact info of the guy in NM who also restores fan clutches? I've looked through the latest online edition of the Driveline and neither one of these guys are listed.

                      Thanks to all who've responded with helpful info,
                      Mike
