cam chain positioning

In my manual it states nothing about putting the cam / chain back on and where it should sit. How do I know what position the cam on top should be when it is at TDC for 1-4 or 2-3 ?? I the only mark on the cam is a "T" and that is facing up when it is at TDC for 2-3. Anyone have any ideas ? (Johnny what kind of beer do you like ? ;)

Igniton can be 180 out... but the cam? There should be and L on the cam somewhere. Your manual should say whether or not it needs to be facing up or somewhere else. It has to be in conjuction with the LT (from what I remember) on the stator/rotor thingy.
