I'm about to put a new water pump on my 78. A friend has offered to give me a Ford OEM water pump for a stock 302. It spins counter-clock wise (facing the motor). Will this fit on my stock engine?

Nobody knows which way the stock water pump spins?

Stock pump rotates clockwise. The one he's offering is for a motor with serpentine belt instead of v-belts.
