Threshold orientation?
Stock thresholds have a wide lip and a narrow lip. Which goes inside and which outside? Looks like the wider lip would go inside to cover the carpet edge?? original pictures seem to show them that way (wide lip towards the inside)

While I'm asking....is there any caulking (dum-dum) required under the SILL PLATES to help keep water from draining into the interior.

No sealer under mine on an all original '77. I do have a little rust on the screw threads so I put on a little grease to keep them free. mds...

When the old sill plates came out of the 68 there was a tar paper like material under them, was that factory or done after the fact?
Threshold orientation?
