Hi Dave,


That is good news.  Do you have any idea what year Toyota that was from.

I would be interested in his input.  Did rotated the same direction as the
Mazda.  I would like to mount the thing down by the radiator with the pulley
facing thye front of the engine but that would reverse roatation of the
impeller.  Thanks for any help.
