Default McCauley governor question - direction of rotation

Hi,

Hope everyone had a great holiday this year.

I've got a front-mounted McCauley C290D governor on my Franken-360, and I plan to hook up a quadrant cable to it for operation. I can't find a service or installation manual online anywhere. Three questions:

1. Looking at the governor's face, which direction is coarse pitch? Clockwise or counter-clockwise?

2. Is it possible to reclock the arm on this governor so as to reverse direction of cable travel for coarse/fine pitch?

3. If it's not possible, what are the options for a bellcrank to accomplish the task and do you have any pictures?

Thanks in advance,
-John
