I'll have to check mine, but I can't imagine why it would be that way. Perhaps one of the connections came undone and was put back in reverse? Moss Motors (and others) sell a Zenith Stromberg tuning

Not correct. My fans both turn CCW viewed from the front of the car. Also check that the thicker part of the blade is the leading edge. More than once owners have found the fan blades installed backw

'Rest' free? Even at an average 30mph that car must have done about 6,570,000 miles by now ... Both fans should blow through the rad. It's possible the drivers side motor was replaced with a non OE i

Info Please: Is it true that if the fan blade are connected backwards that they could come apart (explode?) and possibly destroy your radiator, water pump (on cars where the fan is mounted on the wat

On my old Datsun 510, the waterpump went out on it, and slipped pushing the fan blade into the radiator. This was mid-80's and a '69 510. I think it was just barely over $100 for both a new water pum

An interesting point. If the complete assembly were designed for the forces to be in a specific direction then reversing those forces could cause a problem. But for something as agricultural as the m
