hi all,

i'm in the process of replacing the front engine mounts on my 83 SD. the old mounts don't have any markings on them, unlike the new OEM mounts that i have which have one/two blue dots and the P/N on one side. the manual says to note the orientation of the old mounts and install the new ones in that direction. looking at the mounts they look pretty much square, so i'm not sure which way to install them. so, does anyone know if the side with the dot/dots and part number goes facing the engine or away from the engine? any help will be appreciated
