A clutch fan works in two ways. A thermal type which locks up when bimetal spring heats up and locks it in. that type will sound loud when accelerating if engine temp is above 220 deg The other type is a rpm type it engages at idle but disengages at high rpm ron   rodney fama OCA #033098 1969 cutlass s 1969 442 north carolinia car 1969 442  cali car. assembly required stay away from www.calicars.cc what a hassle. 1972 cutlass convertable 1976 phx y-76 arizona regional car. assy. required 1977 cutlass supreme  (3) 1986 honda shadow vt 1100c  cruiser 1987 cutlass supreme 1989 chevy k-2500 4*4 pick up 1991 yamaha warrior atv 1994 chevy  caprice 9c-1 police pkg 732-986-6388 cell 732-254-9500 wk 2 pm best time to call week days web site. shows disc brake conversion using 79 trans am rear disc on my 77 cutlass,and my 77 restoration project, along with other toys http://home.comcast.net/~77w30442/wsb/html/view.cgi-contact.html-.html http://home.comcast.net/~77w30442/wsb/html/view.cgi-photos.html-MerchantID-221197-Publish-t-makestatic-true-skip-45.html you may have to copy and paste the address to web browser.
