Won't Start after replacing Timing Chain & Gears

I replaced the Timing Gears & Chain using the Ford Shop Manual for Reference. Won't Start. Damper at TDC .Both Valves #1 Closed. Distributor pointing at #1. Got Gas & Spark. I seem to recall Vaguely that the Shop Manual Picture is reversed maybe? Facing the Engine Timing Marks on Gears are on the Right (Oil Filter) Side of Block.That's the Shop Manual.Is it Wrong? I did double check the Gears before I put it back together but now I am wondering if my Memory is correct and the Shop Manual is wrong?
