Have seen some on the left side of the intake, horizontal and facing forward. Others on the face of the block. left side, mounted vertically...

Which is correct? Very late April C code.

Not sure there is a real pattern. We thought with or without A/C was a determiner, but not in every case.

I added aftermarket AC and a Petronix coil which is longer than the original. Because of these changes I had to move it from the original vertical position on the front of the motor to horizontal on the intake manifold. Not many options when adding those items.
