Fan Clutch
As most of you know I have a '84 Camaro with the 2.8 The fan clutch is starting to go bad (Again) I have always caught this before it totaly goes but I was wondering what would happen if you ran a car to long with a worn out fan clutch, Anybody know? I think that eventualy it would ruin the water pump.

it will not ruin the water pump, but you will most likely overheat at non-highway speeds. either get a lifetime replacement clutch, depends on the price, or just get an eletric fan & a toggle switch.
