95+ there is only one way it can go on.

93-94 you have to align the opti dowel.

I think that is the other way..unless we both are sayin the same thing..

93,94 have the Spline with the Key Way..that has only one way.

95+ has the Dowell Pin..and that has to go in the wider slot..it will fit in all 3.
