Brian, the solenoid is oriented as follows. Looking at the battery
from the front of the car, you will see the two side walls of the "battery
box" that project from the firewall. The side wall on the left or passenger
side is where the solenoid mounts. It is pointed such that the solenoid
button is towards the firewall. There should be two holes in the side wall
where the solenoid bolts on with tiny nuts and bolts. These holes are below
the square or diamond hole in the sidewall for the battery retaining J-Bolt.

Excellent...If you need any other questions answered, drop me a note. I
completed a nut and bolt resto of my 4A a year ago and I've been thru it all.
