Vette(s): 1981, Black/Black, Engine bumped to about 400HP.Ext/int mostly stock.
I have someone rebuilding the front suspension on my '81 while I have the engine out. The engine is ready to go back in, but he is not ready to re-install the suspension, so he told me to looesely bolt on the upper control arms before installing the engine, as the installation may not be possble with the engine in there. (Somehow that seems unlikely, but I'll go along) Anyway, I want to make sure I get them installed on the proper side. Can anyone tell me the difference between each side?
Thanks!
