Shes alive an shes stayin alive!!

Somewhere in this thread I noticed someone said the timing marks should be cam sprocket on top and crank sprocket should both be on top.
Both of my manuals ( Haynes 71-89 Repair manual and How to Hot Rod SB Mopar's ) say that the marks should align cam on bottom and crank on top. Are these manuals wrong? When I degree'd the cam it was right on the money. If the books are wrong let me know as the engine is still on the stand with the head off, and should be an easy fix. BTW it's a '71 360 engine.
