Default Which way do the body mount bushings set in?

Because we have sold our house I must place the body on my 1978 vette just so I can relocate it. All my pics and books are long packed. Question is, the mounts are in 2 pieces so which way do they sit in the frame mounts and body mounts? The mounts have a male end and female end. I assume on the #1 mount the male in presses into the frame mount from the top. Does the bolt go in from the top or bottom?
Mounts 2&3 have cage nuts welded to the frame so does the male end push up into the body from the bottom and the female side go inside the body?
As I look at the mounts, one side is gray and flat and the other side is black but the hole seems to be somewhat concave.
thanks,
Neil in Tenn

Two and three are as you describe. Four is female on the bottom. I can't remember #1. Didn't your kit come with a diagram?

Page 272 of the assembly manual shows them.
