Rear differential - Help Needed...

I am reassembling my diff., it has a split casing.
I forgot which way the main gear should be facing... to the right or left of the car ???
The casings seem symmetrical so things would work both ways but I may end up with 3 reverse and 1 very low forward gear.

I would appreciate some help .

Guy, The pinion turns clockwise in forward gears. Therefore mount the ring gear in the left axle housing.
