'68 427 fan clutch
I'm in search of a fan clutch for my '68 427/400hp. I was told that the clutch I'm looking for is unique to '68/'69 tripowers and the '70 LT1. Would anyone be able to verify (or dispute) what I was told?

I can't see any reason that the tripower cars would call for a special clutch. The NCRS judging guide doesn't make any distinction in this regard. The clutches for '68-'70 use a smaller bolt circle diameter to mount the fan than '71 and later. THAT, I know for sure.

While I have never seen a new, last 10 years of so NCRS judging guide, it was my understanding that much of the 68 information was very general in knowledge. Not that I am considering getting my car done that way, but how accurate is the guide?
