Which 1979 Fiat are you talking about? On Fiats with Twin Cam engines the starter is on the same side the intake manifold is. On Single Overhead Cam engines it is on the side where the spark plugs are. If it's a rear engine Fiat or something that doesn't have an overhead cam, let us know so we can make sure you get the correct answer. Best regards, Chris http://fiat500usa.blogspot.com/
