Are all 302 water pumps the same?

Are all 302 water pumps the same?

No they’re not. I think it was ~’70 when the 302 switched to a drivers side outlet. Also even the ’65~’68 289’s had different waterpumps as some had a plate on the back and others didn’t. You also need to match the pump to the timing cover as the water passage holes faced differently.

How does a reverse rotation water pump work?

A REVERSE rotation pump rotates the opposite direction of the crankshaft. Water pump pulleys running on the INSIDE surface of the belt indicate a STANDARD ROTATION water pump. Water pump pulleys running on the OUTSIDE surface of the belt indicate a REVERSE ROTATION water pump.

Which way should a water pump turn?

Rotation is indicated on the head of the pump, you’ll see an arrow going counter-clockwise. This is the direction you want the pump spinning. If you turn the motor around and look at the backside and remove the cap, you’ll see a shaft located in the center.

How do I know if I have a reverse flow water pump?
