clutch fan
Well we took the bird out to woodward for its first cruise tonight and it runs great!
But i still have a few bugs to work out on it. The biggest problem right now is that its running a bit hot in traffic,i know that a new motor will run hot till the rings set but in the stop&go traffic on woodward it got up to about 230. Normal driving it is staying about 195-200. I put an aluminum radiator,new water pump,180 themostat and new hoses on it. It has a clutch fan on it(i'm not sure if these years came with clutch fan or not?) and i'm not sure if it might be part of the problem. With the motor off i can spin the clutch fan by one finger and it will rotate a half turn(blade at 12o'clock spins to 6 o'clock before it stops rotating...Is this normal or does it sound like the clutch might be going?
