Can anyone tell me how a clutch fan on a 70 340 works or more importantly how do I tell if mine is not working properly? It is original to the engine. Thanks.

I notice a little drag on the fan when cold but I don't notice any change when the engine is hot. I have cooling problems and have to be careful on hot days. How much drag should there be when the engine is hot?
Yes it has been cold this week!
I had to reread this thread, I thought I was on the weather channel. .

I farted
I think you're catchin on.
On Wheeler Dealers, Ed China showed how to test one. With the engine idling, he grabbed the fan with a thick leather glove and stopped it. He said he wouldn't have been able to do that if the fan clutch was good,QUOTE]
Most retarded method of "testing" something I've ever heard of!
