Thanks,

Meant to respond to this awhile back. Took the attached pic from mine and measured the visible fan clutch shaft between pulley and fan at 1.5 inches.

(thanks for the heads up Carl, been awhile since I've been on the forum )

KK, thanks for the measurement, I'll check it out when I'm over at his house next week to see where we ended up on this.

as to bolts vs studs....I've never come across an original that had bolts holding the clutch to the WP, always been studs in my experience. Fine thread going into the pump (5/16-24) and course thread for the nuts holding the clutch to the studs (5/16-18)

most of the repop kits out there have the wrong lengths on the threaded sections as well so you have to watch for that.

Your belts are riding at different heights on your pulley making them try to spin it at different speeds. I went thru this on my 73 TA. Had to get a wider belt so they ride at the same height.
