But there is a correct intention or standard and if you are going to restore a car, take it from original to non-original, then you should fix a mistake, even if it is factory (IMHO of course). As for the callouts, Chrysler clearly stated that the last digit of the part number dictated the correct side that the part should be applied to. I can't remember which but let's say odd number for driver's and even for passenger. It states this right in the parts book. I have an original set of 340 6 pak callouts with the part numbers printed on the back which corresponds to the accepted standard of application (slanting forward). Not to mention, it just looks wrong when they are slanting backwards. Last edited by jeff968; 11/07/14 01:00 PM. 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

I've had 4, two of each and almost fainted when I saw your post as I told Barry I've been looking for my old FY1 Mr Norms T/A. I still have the all the dealer paperwork for it too, but my old one was a converted auto to 4spd car. I don't think the E bodies ride as nice as a B body tho. It's really cool when you're driving and you look out over the big scoop! Congrats. GY3 71 Demon 340
