wouldn't care about the phase of the AC at their input. You probably
meant to type fuel pump.

I think the cooling fins need to be reversed on some alternators, from what
I recall. The fuel pump would be the same if it is a cam actuated one,
wouldn't it?

Alternators don't care which way they turn. I had a 283 in a
small boat, and there was no room for the usual side-mounting of the
alternator. I turned it around and mounted it in front of the engine,
making it spin the other way. I went to the junkyard and found an
alternator fan that had its fins mounted radially rather than at a
tangent, so it sucked air through the alternator equally well in
either direction.

A cam-driven fuel pump isn't going to care which direction the cam
is turning, either.
