There was a thread on this awhile back. I'd concluded that at least on the PA28
like mine, the discrepancy is in the service manual itself. It calls for 10-2 IIRC, but
doesn't say if it's as viewed from the front or the rear. So, 50% of them out there are on
one way, and the others are 60 degrees off. I *still* don't know which is right.
