I have stayed up many nights dreaming of flex fans. I even had all the part piled up on the parts house counter and walked away.I have tried to keep the same look. I drove a good bit last nite. this clutch is changing. For the better.
Thanks again for everyones help and advise.

Hi again Flying Low, glad to hear that the clutch fan is working better. I took a nice ride last night too, went to a weekly car show in Stanley, held at a local hamburger joint. There were 3 other C-3's there but none of the owners could explain what your problem might be. As long as it's working better, good enough.
Enjoy your ride, PG.

Another option would be electric.

Hey guys this thing has really calmed down. And I thought driving her only helped my blood pressure. I'm looking for a 5 blade fan, to replace the 7 blade with, hope that helps too, thanks again.

Based upon my experience, a five blade will be quieter.
