if you have a 1500, you can get a water pump w/o a fan clutch.  It's for a
'74 spitfire (I believe).  Or you can just remove the fan, and leave the
clutch on the pulley.

Peter, can you help here?

Awesome.  The car does have a Kenlowe fan fitted, and a manual on/off
switch.  There's a large rectangular hole in the dash next to the
current switch - wonder if this was the clock switch you mentioned.

I know someone earlier said it looked like a temperature sender, good
work everyone!

On a related note, I'd like to move the Kenlowe to behind the radiator,
and take out the OEM fan.  It looks tight - anyone done this?  I take it
that the pulley has to stay because of the water pump.  ;)
