water pump flow direction

Conch27 said

Please school me on the flow direction. I have been overheating and just started pulling hoses and realized that the flow was going from the top of the radiator into the intake. I thought it fed the pump from the bottom. Do I have a counter clockwise pump? Is that right?

No, it's not right. But I'm thinking maybe you saw it wrong....? Even if the water pump is spun backwards, it's still a centrifugal type pump and it "slings" the water outwards and into the block water jackets. Hmmmm.....I dunno.....I think I'd try to KEEP it that way! Cooling the heads first would be the best setup!
