Does this side of the piston face towards the left side of the engine (distributor side) when installed.

For a flathead that slotted side should go towards the distributor (which would be the right side of the engine if you are looking at it from the front). 

Numbers stamped on rods should go towards the valves.

Gotcha, slot towards distributor side. I always called everything right and left sitting in drivers seat. Drivers side being left. I knew the squirt holes in the rods faced towards valves and camshaft.

Solid side of the piston is the thrust side,...... nearest the camshaft.
