Engine direction?

I have an 81 w/ a 4.9. I think the engine turns clockwise is this correct? Also is the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer/crank pully normal or reverse threads?

The crank bolt is normal RH thread. Look at the harmonic balancer or the timing scale, naturally it goes in direction of rotation. Meaning the scale is leading up to TDC.
