It has a key way on it so it only goes one way, IIRC.

correct, they are keyed and the stamping #'s on them face foward, also left and right are different and it's very important that you have them on the correct side....are you having issues?

Rotate the crank till the key way is pointing in the 12 o'clock position (straight up). Do that for the cams as well.
