Hello all,

It has been a long time since I posted last. I am picking up the speed on getting the mustang on the road here and I am looking at changing out the stock fan I have in place on my 67 coupe (302 motor from a 71 mustang)

When looking for a flex fan I saw I could purchase a counter clockwise fan blade or a clockwise fan blade.

I initially assumed I should check to see which way the current one rotates and buy one based on that but then I got to thinking and figured it couldn't hurt to wait a day or two to ask you all if I am on the correct track.

So if my current fan rotates clockwise I should get a clockwise fan?

Thank you in advance.

It should be clockwise unless you have changed to a serpentine belt setup with a reverse rotation water pump - like what is on the fox stangs.
