IIRC there was a discussion on the slot. 55s started out on the generator side and most photos show it that way. Sometime in 55 production and then thru 56 it went to the engine side. Reason given is the excess length is very close to the air duct. Even tho there is a depression for it, if the engine rocked it could hit the fender. By moving the excess length to the engine side the end of bar stopped at generator ear and problem was solved.
