HELP

Could anyone please tell me if this fan is a rear fitting fan (pusher) or a front fitting (sucker) it is for a mark 1 cavalier radiator.
Thanks

Put 12V across it and see which way it blows. Also try reversing polarity this may make it run the other way. You can always mount it with the frame against the radiator if it is a sucker though it may be worth building a duct for it to make sure the air goes through the core.

no, behind! Clockwise would suck air into the monitor as viewed above. As the blades are largely straight you could reverse the polarity and run it backwards, in front. However, it might not last as long.

Not too sure....if you stick a piece of paper close by, which way sucks it closer? That's the bit that should be at the "front" of the car
