reversed flow water pump

flex-a-lite makes a number of different "fan-clutch-fans) in different diameters.. Make sure you get the right fan.... GM says normal rotation is clockwiise rotation of the fan if looking from the drivers seat, flex-a-lite says normail rotation is clockwise if looking at the car from the front.... so make sure you clarify which way you specify..

To the old timers standard rotation of the fan / water pump means clockwise as you would look at the fan from the drivers seat.

Hope this does not confuse the issues, but I bought a 6 blade fan from flex-a-lite and I ran into this after I got the wrong part.

I believe the setup on a 92 K1500 (serptine belt) works pretty good and it uses the standard rotation water pump. Maybe they have improved this somewhere???? I do know there are a coupld of serptine belt setups that seem to move the accessories farther away from the center line. I for one have had no problems with the serptine belt system on my 92k1500 350 eng. I did replace the belt and tensioner when I bought the truck about 7 months ago.... I belive they had some problem with the OEM tensioner...

If you're wishing to improve the performance and spend cash, an electric fan is the way to go - it frees up *several* ponies that can now be devoted to the torque converter. Check
