I have a tropical 6 blade metal fan for my 62 TR4 project that is ready to mount. First, it has been a while since motor was turned over and not presently able to do so. Which way does crank pulley spin when engine is running (if you are standing at front of car and looking at engine). Which way does the fan mount to crank hub? Are the blades intended to push air through radiator or pull through? I have had electric fans for a while and no other car to reference with stock fan setup. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Jim Henningsen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Ocala FL<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>62 TR4<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>75 TR6<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>68 Land Rover 88 Series IIa<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br><br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ahwahneetr@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ahwahneetr@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
