Torque arm mount: which one? lip in or lip out?
I'm going to buy a poly torque arm mount for my 86' Z28 w/T5, the problem is the catalog I'm looking in asks for which way the lip is facing. I don't know what they mean by lip, but I do know that when you look down the arm long ways from the trans down to the rear end, it makes a shape kind of like a W. It looks like this [_/\_], with the drive shaft under it--> O
Would that be lip facing away from trans?
Also, is there any kind of surgery that needs to be done to get this thing to fit?
Help guys.
