Dead fan clutch on an SA
My fan clutch isn’t turning right and squealing at high rpm so I need to replace it. Unfortunately the part is NLA. Please don’t suggest an electric fan....I want to keep it stock. Has anyone rebuilt one of these? Are there any fan clutches for other makes or models that might fit?

I would post a want to buy ad here on the forum in the 1st gen classifieds section and see if anyone out there has one available.
With that said, ensure you have proper belt tension and that the belt is not slipping on the water pump or alternator pulleys. A slipping and or worn belt will cause a squealing noise at higher rpm and when the belt slips, the fan will not be turning properly.
