Hey Bud
I have so many clutch fans around here that I could start
a fan company. My headake also has never gone away.
Hope someone posts some info on common car applications

Bud, not to add fuel to the fire but the clutches have ink stamped dates and some have month and Year stamped on the flange. Do yours have any of these??

I know this is not your year, but my 70 Z28 original fan clutch has Eaton CV K1J it's a 04B car. Have no idea what K1J stands for or how to decode it.

What would be the correct clutch for a 1970 Camaro SS-L78 and would the date be prior to
the engine build or the car. The engine in my L78 was built over 6 months before the car.
This whole date code matching when doing a restoration is tricky. I would love to see an
Original Survivor 70 Camaro SS L78 so we could document a lot of unanswered questions.
