The pointed end goes up so you can impale yourself. 
No really. So when you have to r&r the dizzy later on, it makes it a lot easier to engage, especially if the shaft is laying to one side. That's assuming the shaft didn't take a dive into the pan, don't forget the clip!

BB,
That's very good info. That might explain why stabbing the dizzy is such a procedure for me! Although, I never really notice a flat or pointed end on the ARP shaft.....
ANyway, good information! As BB stated, use the clip. It will save you from dropping the pan again....and again.

It goes up top, to keep it from coming up with the distributor!
