68 Z fan clutch
« on: September 01, 2009, 05:44:54 PM »
Anyone know what the repro part # is for the 68 Z fan clutch?  I know Eaton still makes one, but I can't find out exactly what the part # is.   I have an original fan blade now and am using a generic clutch and want to get the right one for 3 1/4".  Is this the right one at HBC? http://store.heartbeatcity.net/store/product/13569/Fan-clutch%2C-302%2C-396%2C-%26-AC/

I called and asked and they said it's 3 1/4", but I don't trust them as they have a radiator tag that supposed to be correct for the 68 Z and it has a left tank code of IM (which doesn't even exist) instead of IH.

I have the correct fan for my 68 Z also but I cannot afford the 1200 dollar clutches either. I went to a local Parts Source and bought a twin to the one you are showing and paid only 75 dollars I believe. Yes it is the 3.25 bolt pattern.

I have looked for the receipt or box it came in and cannot find it. I have no idea what the make was but I know it works great and was cheap. The store was called Parts Source a local automotive store in Canada .I know that these stores are also in the states I will go to the store and see if they can give me the maker.

I took the clutch off my 68 Z and found the maker and part #. They are as follows    Hayden fan clutch part # 2705   This does have the 3.25 bolt pattern as required if you have the correct fan for the 68 Z28s. Hope this helps and it cost 60 dollars Canadian.    Paul B

I haven't called them yet.  I have a source at NAPA and I'm going to ask him.  If they have it, he'll find it.  I still wonder if anyone knows the part # for the GM that is still sold?

I asked at the GM dealer I deal with and they showed nothing available with correct bolt patter 3.25 . They do sell one with the 3 inch bolt pattern.

Maybe they don't have it any more.  John Z said Eaton still made them and gave the part# for the 3" version in post #3.  I have the 3" one I got at Rick's years ago and won't need it anymore.  Wish I could trade for a 3 1/4" one.
