L78 Fan Clutch
 
Does someone have an exact description of the 67 L78 fan clutch.
Or, maybe one of these is correct? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Hi Peter. Your fan clutch has the rectangular tab across the center but it's otherwise quite different from the Z/L78 fan clutch. Compare the two pictures again:

I do believe the Solid lifter engines in 1967,used a different Fan Clutch then the Hydra lifter engines.
If the difference between these two clutches isn't that,then it's probably different Manufacturing plants making the same part.

Re: L78 Fan Clutch
 
Up at Corvettes at Carlisle this week, i saw a bunch of clutches with the same face as those 67 Z/28's. (pretty cheap too)
However I believe the hub size was different. That design was used on the 72-73 Corvettes.
Had 3.25 for the fan, but hub was the large size for the long water pumps.
Or were those right?

Re: L78 Fan Clutch
 
I looked a little deeper and found these 2.
Big spacing for the fan, small spacing for the pump.
Are these them? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Hard to tell from the blurry photos. The starbust seems to match on the one in the foreground--is the outer edge grooved as in my picture in the earlier post?

Re: L78 Fan Clutch
 
The edges do not looked grooved liked the one in the earler post.

Re: L78 Fan Clutch
 
My good camera broke last week - those were with my phone. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

No - The edges are not grooved. I noticed that also. Too bad.
Back to the drawing board - I have one more place to look.

At least I found 2 more 772 fans I didn't know I had.

Is either one of these fan clutches the correct one for a 68 Chevelle L78?

I have another here that is dated 69 that is attached to "772" fan. Would it be correct for a 69 L78? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif
