There are actually at least 2 types of fan clutches. Thermostatic and =
viscous.
The thermostatic type engages as the temperature of the air passing over =
it increases thus making the fan turn constantly when the radiator is =
hot.=20
The viscous type only drive the fan when running at relatively low =
engine speeds thus reducing the horsepower required to drive the fan.=20
I don't think either would be of much help with a standard fan but may =
be an advantage if a large aftermarket fan was being used.

Bob,

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