installing flywheel without stake marks

Well long story short, pulled flywheel off engine during rebuild but forgot to stake the mounting point and now I have no clue which side is up or down. Any one out there who could tell me how to fix the mess I caused?
76 F150 360cid t-18 Borg Warner! Oh yeah got a clutch kit from AutoZone. Came with a release bearing with no grease fitting. Should I use it, seems smaller than original, or dump it and find one with? Please help asap, I don't wanna "F" up my truck after working so hard to bring it up to snuff.

360 is internally balanced, the flywheel is neutral, so it doesn't matter how it goes on.

And I can't remember for sure, but I think the bolt holes are offset a little so it only goes on one way anyway??

The bolt holes are offset. You can only put it on one way

X3, the flywheel's bolt pattern only alows it to go on one way.
Go ahead and use the throwout bearing

I'm not up on the clutch stuff anymore but I don't think the newer bearings have grease fittings.
