Cooling fans ?

Those of you that have cooling fans on the outside of your radiator, do they both turn the same way or does one spin clockwise and the other one counterclockwise?

Thanks

Never checked mine but I can tell you they don't cool worth a $hit. I just put in a puller and will disconnect the twin pushers, might even pull them out to clean up the snout.

Both turn the same and do a great job. I have ran my car hard and long in the 118 degree Summer weather we have here with high humidity and the only time it gets close to hot is when I come to a stop or get slowed down in city traffic. Just as soon as I can get back up to normal speed, the temp. comes right back to normal. I had a puller and it did about the same job so I changed t the pushers for more room in the engine compartment.

Same direction, clockwise. Do not cool as well as a puller but look cool.

I believe that dual cooling fans can work against each other and actually produce less airflow. Original race Cobras had the dual pushers only. These fans were only used while at idle. Some had no fans at all.

You are better off with just a good puller. Second best is the dual pushers.
