Thanks, Ed.. ;~) B-W was who made the N-S for the Jiffy kits.... A long time ago I was told the Holley N-S design had a patent and couldn't be repo'ed. I'm wondering if those patents have expired?? I think the W-P on the front of the cam drive will tell you the way it rotates. Rotation may be marked on the cover. If not, pull the cover and check which way the rubber vanes in the pump are laying. If memory is right you could reverse the hoses on those pumps for Rev rotation. A long time ago I did a Chris Craft with 2 - 327 chevies and one was counter rotating. The prop will be cut for C-R,too... I'm pretty sure it was the Left (from back of boat) engine that was C-R... the props rotated inward if the old memory is working. The starter drive, Bendix will be backwards from a reg rotation, too. Chances are on a single engine application it is Std rotation. Happy New Year--- All!!
