Page 849 of Motors Auto Repair Manual of 1956.

Piston and rod assembly 1946 - 54 Packard and Clipper engines:

" WHen correctly assembled the oil spray hole and the slot in the piston should be on the cam shaft side".

So Owen was correct.

However i will comment that this is a POOR design if it places the T slot to the rite side of the engine.
