Distributor hold down question

Which is the correct way of putting the Dist. clamp back on...flat side down or flat side up?...flat side up with an overlap makes the most sense to me but I just wanted to make sure.  Pulling the coolant hose would help me see in there a lot better but I was not trying to drain the coolant just to put the dist back in.

and excuse my lack of computer "drawing with a mouse" skills.  I am still having trouble getting this stupid thing back in right....I am about to go buy a threaded post and run it in, then just use a lock washer and bolt on top of it.  Seems 100% easier that way than trying to contort my meat hooks down in the small space holding the clamp and bolt at the same time while fishing for the hole blind.

Just checked my 302 and it is flat side up with the overlap on the distributor.

Yep.  That's the way mine is as well.

It's a "hold DOWN" - it has to overlap the base of the distributor.  I don't think it would even fit upside-down.

Seems right to me that it's a hold down.  It doesn't make much sense to just be pressed against it but like I said I just wanted to verify!
