On american Vee engines a rule of thumb the side that is offset to the front is the odd side and the side offset to the rear is even. On a 60 degree the offset to the front is on the left/pass side. On a 350, 4.3, 454 and the likes the offset to the front is on the right/drivers side.
I'm not sure if that holds ture to imports and I'm sure somebody gonna say XXXXX built in XXXX doesn't hold to that rule. For the most part its true.

You need to verify the number 1 firing position. Easiest way to do this is to remove the spark plugs so there is no compression. Hand crank the engine to TDC. You can do this by having some one feel for air blowing out the number 1 spark plug hole and then lining up the flywheel mark at the O degree mark on the timing scale. Then mark the location of the number one plug at the distributer cap. Remove the cap and the rotor should be pointing at the number on position. (Firing position).
