SE front Strut mounting block position?
So I have searched and cant seem to find what im looking for. I just took off se struts to put on my 78. While going through the service manual it mentions to note the triange position before taking them off which I didnt do. Now im trying to install them and I dont see a traingle mark. There is a notch on one side of the mounting block. Is that what they are refering to? If so, which way should it face? Thanks for the info.

Yeah, shutup kid.
If you look closely at the tops you'll see the center is offset towards one of the bolts, put that bolt in the inside rear hole(pointing at the center of the windshield). They are like that so you can adjust camber and caster, very slightly, I think it's about 1/4-1/2 a degree. It's not enough to really matter but it's all the camber adjustment you get with stock parts.
