Crank spins clockwise. Only engines that I know of that don't are Hondas.

It's a decent-looking work truck. No top-end, but it's great off the line.

Hondas run backwards, as do some large Korean diesels. Not sure about the Korean cars though.
I'd block the thing up and crank it. If you were to connect he upper and lower hoses and remove the thermostat, you'd have water in the jackets at least. Never cared for starting them empty.If you hook up a guage, you'll see why. The temp will jump up into the 200's after mere seconds of running.

I think he wants to know which way the distritor turns,can be cw or ccw depends on which side of the camshaft it is on, I can't find anything on the web not much caddy info unless it's a northstar.
