Should be the same as in my 76. I don't have picture but the ones in the Haynes and Bently are correct if you have them. They should be the same orientation if you go in a circular fashon I believe.

I had been thinking that was probably why it's only 20%. Since real dealers are non-existent (scores 0% I asssume). Probably needs a rewritten questionaire just for our much older cars. Alan --Origin
