    The one closest to the car's left headlight. BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

            The price is whatever it is.
            You could tell them it is for a pre-1957 Buick, Pontiac, Olds, Cadillac or Chevy. V8 but if it is not on the shelf, I guess that will not help!
