oil seal

[redline]

Can anyone tell me which way the rear main seal goes in. I am rebuilding a 1975 440 and didnt pay attention when i removed it. Don't want to install backwards. I looked online but are still confused. The last thing i want to do is replace it laying under the car ?

Look at the edge of the seal. The angles portion should have the high side toward the inside of the engine. Slope goes toward the back.

Sorry for the bad drawing, but I'm old and shaky lol. Hope this helps.

Thanks the picture helps, read about it online but couldn't figure out what they were calling the lip towards front of engine. Thats the way I installed it but was second guessing myself Thanks again!
