I need to get a new waterpump. I am considering the FMS one from summit, which states is a stock replacement, but it says "counter clockwise" rotation. I'm assuming counter clockwise means reverse rotation. I thought that 5.0 waterpumps were standard (clockwise) rotation?

If it's got a serpentine belt it's reverse rotation, V-belts are standard rotation.
