350 isolator spring postion

[butchb]

replacing isolator on straight 350 all new parts from deere, need to know spring postion on isolator book not very clear?

The hardware that bolts to the flywheel -- the open part of the spring faces to your right as your facing the flywheel. The engine rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE and the sleeve that bolts to the flywheel should push towards the solid side of the spring hook not the open side...hope this helps. BTW clean and loctite the threads on everything!
