Topic: cooling fan 36 ford

  I mounted a cooing fan on the front of the radiator on my 36 ford. It is blowing the wrong way. I plan on reversing the polarity. Do I have to switch the fan blades around. Thanks...

  Not the answer you wanted, but if and when you get it working, you should know that a front mounted fan is considerably less efficient than a fan pulling from behind.

  These instructions from Fifth Avenue Internet Garage should answer all your questions about your electric cooling fan. The message from ford38v8 is correct, a "puller" fan is much more efficient than a "pusher" fan. Using the fan to pull the air through the radiator is the best bet provided you have the room to package the fan between the radiator and the engine.
