It's a chevy 350 HEI distributor.

Which is the correct way to install the dist. center plate?

I have two of these distributors and the both came apart different.

The top set is out of a Mallory dist. in the picture the center plate has rounded edges on the bottom and a "L" stamped into the top.

The bottom set is GM, all numbers are up.

Thanks guys, I thought the bottom right was right, but I started overthinking things and confused the heck out of myself.
