Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
The most obvious issue would be leaking fluid. Other than that, you can try to spin the fan with the clutch stationary, and the fan should "drag" and not spin more than 1/4-1/2 revolution. If it freewheels, it won't be spinning under load. Of course, the final test is keeping the car cool at idle. You should be able to give it a quick spin test without worrying about ruining the "barn find" patina for MCACN. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
The AC Delco HD clutch is 15-40108, found it. If your clutch is good, I'd be inclined to run it, use this number as a backup or if it wants to run hot at idle.
