Arrow Initial Caster Block set up

So i just updated my suspension on my 88 "S" and I need to know what you guys have for your caster eccentric position. Is it facing "OUT" "Down" or "In" - what im making refference to is the small square tab lobe.

- Can anyone help me out here? or take a look at there car. thanks -- Ill get some pics in a bit since putting the new Turbo Twist II's, and lowering springs

- I just want to have it set roughly before i get the alignment.

Set it halfway between pointing straight down and pointing straight out. You should also make sure the nut on the control arm side of the caster block isn't tight until you lower the car onto the wheels. This is important to minimize stress on the caster block bushing.
