Waterpump rotation and belt question

[281pony]

we installed the march alt tensioner setup, alt bracket, p/s relocation, ect this weekend. no smog either. i drove the car for the first time and it was getting hot. so i came back, bought a new mark 8 fan/huge aluminum radiator, new thermostat, and then i wondered about my water pump rotation.

apparently it rotates (it should?) CLOCKwise from the front of the car? here is a pic of my pulleys/belt, and a video of it rotating YouTube - MVI 1840

my question is, am i rotating backwards or is this normal? i dont know if i should point my finger at this rotation issue for the heating problem or my old radiator/thermostat.

found a bit of info.. apparently a stock pump does spin reverse in coordinance with the crank?

my pump is spinning reverse, same as stock w/p. so my car "should" have been getting hot today (per stock gauge) cause of the small electric fan/thermostat/radiator combo i had.

going to take it out and see how hot/cold it runs..
