Default Water pump question

I converted my SBC to a serpentine belt setup. After installing the belt I noticed that now my water pump will spin in the opposite direction. Will it still work or do I need a different pump?

Most of the circulation pumps I have dealt with are bi- directional. You still may want to check into it further though!

They may be bi directional, but you have to make sure your hoses are reversed if you reverse the direction.

You Need To Put In A New Impeller. Also Put It In Backwards So The Fins Are In The Right Direction.
