Which side of a 20amp 240v outlet for a window ac does the black wire go?

I'd suggest checking into the electrical codes for your location because often it's not legal for people to do their own electrical work without at least an inspection by an electrician BEFORE power is applied. Having said that, the black wire normally indicates "hot". I'd recommend that you try to look at a similar outlet to see how it is wired, or check Wikipedia for electrical wiring. House wiring is of course extremely dangerous. Make sure that you understand the safety rules before working on anything electrical.
