Default Fan clutch?

What is the best source for a new fan clutch '72 coupe running a 'rebuilt Corvette '73 454 auto with A/C Does not need to be judged by N.C.R.S. so repro is O.K. mine has bit of a wobble and is of '72-'73 vintage.
Thanks,
SW

I've attached a paper they published a while back that covers some excellent troubleshooting tips as well as a discussion of the different types out there, such as Standard Duty, Heavy Duty and Severe Duty. At the least, it can help you decide based on your situation what you need.

of those that have used them.

Good luck... GUSTO
