Good to hear can't can't wait try it out. There is a problem I'm having with removing the fan. I recently bought a new fan clutch and went to take the old one off and the nut is nearly impossible to remove. I've tried everything and now I may have to take it somewhere

That's the direction I've tried to go and it still won't break lose. To make matters worse the pulley keeps turning

yes its hard to keep the pulley from moving. I use a crow bar and wedge it in against the pulley and engine block to keep it from rotating

Not enough to hardly notice. But, combined with a tune you will pickup a little pep.

The fan on mine was normal thread. I took a spare belt and vise-gripped it into a band clamp, used a 12" crescent tightened onto the nut, and swung at it with a sledge hammer.
