differential mount orientation

[Troutman]

im getting ready to install my new R200 in my 73 240, and im not sure which way to position the mount. i know as soon as i raise the diff up there id find out, but i'd i rather only have to do it once. in some photos if seen side "B" facing the front of the car on 240s with the r180, and in some phots ive seen side "A" face the front of the car on the ZX with the R200. i havent seen any photos of the mount on the R200 in a 240. it would make sense to have side A face the front because of the scalloped-out area for clearance to the mating flanges, but im not sure. so if someone could help out, id appreciate it.

thanks

This is a pic of the R200 I pulled from a '70 240. It looks like B is facing the front to me. I'm going to need to know this myself.

I dug this out. It is the one from the other pic before it was disassembled. The yellow arrow faces to the rear of the car. Post a pic of yours once you get it together. Good Luck.

Dang... I forgot the pic!
