Can anybody explain why and or confirm if ALL the 7" Fan Clutches in 1970 were stamped
CV as Ive seen on the Z28........and CZ on Big Block......WHY if its the same internals and same external ............

And how is the date coding broken down on the EATON Fan Clutch
Could be something as simple as the thermostatic coil that regulates the clutching action due to temperature. Perhaps slightly different cut-in/cut-out temperature. Also could be the viscosity of the fluid may be different. This would also change the "lock-up" characteristics. Kind of like how a transmission torque converter works.
