I really doubt that there were any left hand threads on small alternators,
but there were a number of auto engines that rotated in the opposite
direction. IIRC rear drive Chryslers used to rotate backward of GM, and I
believe that Honda currently rotates the reverse of most other front
drives
due to the reversed position of the engine and drive train.

Majority of the world's automotive engines rotate clockwise then viewed from
the accessory end. Chrysler and GM engines (small and big blocks) as well as
AMC, Ford etc. do rotate the same direction. In fact I don't know any auto
engines running counterclockwise, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
