Re: [TR] electric fan

Check with the manufacturer, but it should be a simple matter of swapping
the hot & ground wires.

No, you cannot have it blowing forward.  When you are driving this will just
put more strain on the fan than it is designed to take and you will be
shopping for a re-placement before too long after it burns up from the over
load. 

Congratulations on the first start-up!

Subject: [TR] electric fan

Finally got the 3 running for the first time after restoration!  Now still
need lots of assembly but that major event is done!

However I'm wondering
about my electric fan.  It's running backward..........(mounted behind the
radiator and blowing forward)  Is there a way to re-wire it so it spins the
other way?  Sucking toward the engine?  My tr-3 is positive ground and fan
is negative ground and grounded on the inner fender with black
wire............and has two red wires for power.........(smaller red for
ignition switch and larger red for power source).

ALSO............would it
work ok blowing forward?  Since most times when the fan is needed the car
would be stopped or almost stopped in traffic and not moving very fast there
fore the fan would not be fighting against air flow very often or long. 
thanks!
