Kit
Contains Fan, Block and Bolts
The
percentage of 1968-70 fan clutches that failed was
tremendous, and Nissan came out with a solid block to
replace it. The original clutch was also an unbalanced blob
hanging on the end of the water pump shaft which is not
conducive to long water pump life. Originally along with the
fan clutch a 7-blade fan was added to try to bring the
engine temperatures down during situations of extreme heat
due the distributor that had to be installed on the engines
to meet the smog idle test.
Locking
up the 7-blade fan permanently is a large power drag and
makes the car sound like a hurricane. The solution? Go back
to the non-USA 4-blade fan.
NOTE:
Current fan blocks utilize the original 1.25 hole for the
fan; but they fit on the 1.5 projection on the 67.5 -70 2000
and 68-70 1600 waterpumps.
