Default "Correct" bolt for posi tag

Which bolt does the posi tag "correctly" go on? I have and old picture of the 81 with it on the driver's side just below the axle tube.

I remember reading in a 1980 Assembly Manual that it went at the 5:00 position, not sure about the earlier years but that is how it was worded which is the same as you guys mentioned

Thanks guys I thought I had seen a picture in the shop manual somewhere. I mean if I am going ot have the tag on it should be in the correct spot! Since this started out as just a single rear caliper to replace and ended up new rotors,calipers,brake lines,new posi, new axles(posi and axles needed replacing) and all new bearings! At least the new 30 splines should be able to handle anything I throw at it. Kept the 3.08s though.

Every single GM car that I have seen with posi...removed over 50 of them...all had the tag at 5 o'clock....only a few Chevy models like Corvettes and some others have a red plastic triangle on the oil fill hole plug.
