The Ranger rotates in the conventional direction for US piston engines,
i.e., clockwise when looking forward from the pilots seat.

What kind of prop are you getting?

'You had better forget that prop manufacturer if he doesn't know that the
Ranger is an American Aircraft engine, I recommend Sensenich at Plant City
