The upness or downness would depend on where the cam was when you shut it off. That's not a relevant question. Normally there's a little tab inside the rotor and matching notch on the distributor shaft that won't let you get it wrong. If the cap went back on easily and the car runs, you got it right!

Yeah, there's only one way it will go on (depending on it's 'clock' position), like he said if it slid on easily then it's right.
