Standing in front of the car and looking at the engine, it rotates clockwise!
Is that the right way or the wrong way?

P.S. I just finished replacing the doors with aluminum skins that are riveted
onto the door surround and an aluminum brace that is bolted into the top
of the A and B posts. That creates a weight loss of in the neighborhood of 50
pounds. Plus I moved the seat way back in the car to distribute more
of my own weight further back. With the seat in that location, I can now
comfortably shift gears! The shifter is way back in the car because of the
extra long 6-speed box and the placement of the engine itself!
I still need to find another 400 pounds to be at "fighting" weight! :(
