Hey guys, I'm confused about which way the fan should be pointing and which way it will spin. Which was should the fan blades be pitched on a standard 302?

Any one have pics of their fans on the motor?

Be easier if you posted a pic. Fan would turn same direction as crankshaft. Blades should be positioned so they scoop the air from the radiator and throw it back toward the engine.

Thank you Savage, Exactly what I needed.

Viper. I took it off to reverse it but will take a pic when I put it back on.

We must have the wrong fan since it doesn't matter which way it is installed, the pitch is still the same. Will call the vendor and sort it out.

Thanks for the help guys.
