KLF Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Russell It's been a busy day but I finally had time to go dig out the fan clutch. I'm only selling one. $150 plus shipping US$. I'm near Vancouver BC. Shipping isn't too bad from here. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russelld58 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks, Ken. The fan clutch I have doesn't have the disk that appears in the middle pic. Otherwise it looks very close. Any advice? russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLF Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Can't really say. I bought these for my 63. Maybe the 62 is different. I have a used one that I pulled off a 63. Pretty sure I compared these to it. Can't find it right now to check again. It's been about 10 years since I was actively playing with my Buick.

Russelld58 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hey Ken, thought I'd touch base about the fan clutch. I went ahead and removed it but did not replace it. Also took out the AC compressor. Replaced fan and put a spacer in where the fan clutch used to go. Had to modify a bit for the new radiator since it is an aluminum three row instead of two. Engine running cooler than it ever has. Also wondering if you can give me advice about rod bearings. I'm hearing a slight knock on start up. Using 50 wt and STP and that seems to have stopped some of the noise. I hear some knocking, but its intermittent. Is it just a matter of time? Best to replace the bearings now? Any advice on a vendor for rod bearings? Thanks Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
