i need to know which way the notches on the rocker shafts should point in a 79 318 motor ? the book says right side point to front, and left side point to back ! but is that when your looking at the car head on ? or sitting in the drivers seat ?


Im goin fast Mom!

the notches on the shafts will always...

point down and to your left...

driver side down and towards radiator...

passenger side down and towards the firewall...

US cars are always as sitting in the drivers seat. Left = drivers side - right passenger side. Makes a big difference when ordering or assembling parts. Don't know what book you have but I don't want one.
Rocker shaft notches down and to the front left (drivers side) and downad to the rear on tight side.

I agree Chiltons is normal pretty good. Stick around and ask quetsions if you need to. Some one here will help you out. Also check out the archieves for a lot of info. http://www.moparts.org/Tech/
