Quick Thermostat Question

I had just finished rebuilding the 300 out of my 89 4x4, and only one thing keeps me back at the moment, I didnt pay attention to the thermostat when I took it off, which side faces the block, and what side faces the grill? (I think the spring side faces the block, but I want to make sure)
