Response to Standard automotive rotation is counterclockwise (otherwise known as Left Hand)........... |
| On the standard rotation engines (those LH engines running clockwise when viewed from the flywheel, same direction as those used in automobiles) you'll notice the firing order is cast into the intake manifold.
On the opposite hand rotation engines (RH clockwise rotation, when viewed from the flywheel) you'll notice someone has taken a grinder to that intake manifold!! That "someone" was an individual at the Ford engine plant, or the Chris Craft engine plant. They actually use the same intake manifold, but obviously they can't use the same firing order if one is LH and the other is RH, so they just took a grinder to the opposite (RH) rotation motors to be sure nobody would try to wire up the motor wrong. It's possible that during a rebuild or parts swap, that the wrong manifold got placed on the wrong motor, and it will work just fine as long as you stick with the required firing order!
