sww914,
From my reading I learned: Cleanliness first! Then install the shafts DRY, meaning; do not lube the rocker arm or the shaft until AFTER you have the shaft in place and torqued. (You can then apply oil into the rocker arm 'lube hole' and P-car engines build oil pressure rapidly.) This keeps the metal to metal surfaces dry and more likely to seal.
Orientation of the shaft end is only critical on the ends of the engine where the oil cooler, cam covers, etc. impeded the insertion of your allen wrench. On mine I have the larger allen size 'sawn off' to clear, so I put the larger 'nut end' out.
