Stupid '34 Door Lock Cylinder Question

I'm installing the door lock cylinder. It was out of the car when I got it and needed a key which has now been cut. I see it can go in two ways, either with the tumbler knockouts and cylinder # at 12 o'clock or reversed at 6' o'clock or in another description, the "teeth" of the key either up or down. Which is correct? I only want to do this once as it is difficult to keep the bar straight to center in the receptical. I'm guessing that gravity prevails and the tumbler side is up.

The door key "teeth" are up on a Model A handle.

Thank you.
 
I think the key teeth go up.. others will know
