Replacement for 75 fan and clutch

[azopelnut]

Has anyone found a source for the 75 fan/clutch assembly or a suitable replacement?

Paul, I found both an NOS fan clutch (actually Beck Arnley after-market) and a new aftermarket water pump on eBay. I just saw a '75 water pump a few weeks ago, but didn't bid (one spare is enough! I keep telling myself). The clutches show up every few months.

But I don't see why you couldn't just use an older pump and fan, or even just an electric fan (with whatever pump you have).

You can replace the 75 with the earlier water pump. You will also need a earlier model fan pulley, and fan. It works out to be about the same cost as a 75 pump and is a whole lot easier to find.

Paul,

Have '75 pump new and used fan clutch. What do you need?

I need both a fan (my blades are cracked and one even has a piece missing)
and a clutch (I believe my is frozen). I found a older volvo fan and fan clutch (all one piece ) that I hoped would work but the fan was a bit to big and I didn't think trimming an inch off of each blade would be very balanced.

I thought that would be a good choice too but the 75 pump shaft is only 2 1/2 inches from the radiator surface (sems longer than the pre-75 pumps)and the 14" electric fan required needs about 3 3/4!!!

I like the idea of a electric fan especially with A/C here in Arizona!!
Maybe there is a 14" with even lower profile than the Hayden(Pep Boys)
