View of one of the injector's index holes (nestled between two normally-spaced outer dome attach bolt holes).

Picture 2 of 2.

The F-1 injector is indexed via two pins, one round and one diamond shaped, which fit into two index holes located 180° apart to ensure that the injector is installed in the proper orientation.

Both index holes are round, although they are different sizes; I believe that the diamond-shaped pin has a larger diameter.

This index hole is noticeably larger than the other holes, and so I believe it is for the diamond-shaped index pin.
