66 - 289 automatic with factory air. I need some input to as to keeping the fan clutch or not. Several people have given me different stories. I have one on it now but it run warm on a long haul (100 miles and over). It is fine when i am starting a trip and stays around the T on the gauge. Then after about a hundred miles it stars slowly warming up and gets up close to the P on the gauge. i was told that it is normal for that and also to change over and eliminate the clutch so the revs would draw more air. Anyone have any experience with this. Already have a 6 blade fan. Thanks
Jim
