I have heard from another forum that the generic fan that autozone sells is clutched in the wrong direction for my car which means I'm also wasting gas.

I bought the new style fan and clutch. The new fan has a stamp mark that looks like it matches a molded protusion on the clutch. It would have been nice to have it say radiator side or cooling clutch side. Anybody know exactlyhow it goes.
