The Fan Clutch on my 64 Fleetwood is getting very noisy and I suspect a bearing or whatever inside of there has died.
I found a replacement on Caddy Daddy that appears to be the correct fit as others on the forum have struggles to find the right one over the counter.
It looks simple enough to replace this part, wondering if anyone has any insight/pointers about how big of a job this actually is or if its a piece of cake!
Any special tool requirements? I just want to make sure I have everything I need to be successful the FIRST time. I do have a garage, but its one stall so most repairs happen in the driveway. When I start a project, I want to make sure at the end of the day, the car is 100% back together so it doesn't have to sit out.
As always, thanks for the help!

As always, I appreciate your input!
I have the manual and a good shop light. I have examined the area, albeit probably not as thoroughly as I need to.
Alas, I’m am seeking advice from those that have performed the work before. I find the shop manual to be…. Lacking in some aspects. Perhaps it’s my inexperience with using them or interpreting the directions.
As I mentioned, I want to make sure I am as prepared for the job as I can be. Don’t want a mess of parts layin around for a day or two while I wait on the mailman.

I have a good new fan clutch for 70.00 and it is guaranteed to fit. Please send me an email to get yours. russ@thecadishack.com
The job is a piece of cake as you describe it. Just have a 1/2 wrench on hand. Remove the 4 bolts to the water pump pulley and remove the fan assembly. Swap out the fan and reinstall.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
