Default Mustang Fan

Which way is the proper way for the fan to spin? Clockwise/counter clockwise? i know this is a dumb question but just want to make sure something crazy is not up with my car. I have the radiator full and all the components are working and the fan is spinning but the car is running hot and wanted to make sure that the fan is spinning the right way, sounds crazy but seems like there isn't much air being pushed towards the motor..

My 92 spins clockwise as you're looking at it from the front.

it runs hot while driving around town, about a tad under the red...so yours spins clockwise if your stading in front of the car, so that would be counterclockwise when your behind the wheel...i will check to make sure mine is doing that.

the thermostatic fan clutch may be bad, that's to say cruising down the highway the temp reads normal
