1955 Buick Special - The Left & Right Sides Engine Validation

Recommended Posts

Dear Fellow Members:

In changing the wiring today and having two reference books available to us, we had a contradiction on identifying the actual engine sides (Left/Right). Could someone provide a clear directive on the left and right sides based on either Option A or Option B. Finally, how are engine sides correctly referenced:

Option A - Standing at the front of the car, facing the windscreen

Option B - Sitting in the car, facing the hood emblem

Based on Option A, the left-hand side head gasket cover is slightly longer (e.g. more forward) than the right-hand side cover. Is this the side where #1 starts for the firing order?

I would not ask such a ridicous question, if we had not noticed two-(2) different printed versions causing us to question ourselves (at least me...).

Thanking you in advance for your advice.

Skippy
