Engine Cooling problem
1978 Honda Civic 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 1978 Honda Civic Station wagon and my ? is which way should the radiator fan be blowing, into the radiator, or pulling the air away from the radiator? The eliectrical plug is spliced, so it will turn either way.... ?[img:ce9cf8eaa3]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/429831_DSC02694_1.jpg[/img:ce9cf8eaa3]

Hi rubenv11003,

Wow, what a beauty you have.

The air should be pulled into the engine compartment. When vehicle is moving, air would be forced into engine compartment and reverse installation of the fan would cause overheating when the air from outside and the fan motor air flow clashes.
