Question fuel pump inertia switch

retrofitting a 5.8 out of a '95 to a '52 F3...

is there anything special i need to know about this inertia valve? does orientation or placement matter, or can i tuck it away somewhere?

thanks.

Install with the button facing upwards. They were originally installed on the firewall in most applications. I have seen some on the passenger side kick panel. Don't think it is critical, but must be firmly mounted in the upright position.
