Harold, what would be the purpose of installing a fan clutch, assuming =
you can find one that will fit?  Do you really need to disconnect the =
fan so the engine warms up faster?  Once at operating temperature, the =
fan clutch is engaged; it won=E2=80=99t help a Healey run any cooler, =
which is generally our bigger concern.

Is there a fan clutch available that will fit an Austin Healey? There is =
very little space between the water pump and the radiator.
