I found that I didn't need to worry about that. Got it right the first time. The upper spline had master teeth on the shaft, yoke & the shaft going to the steering wheel and would only go on one way.
The bottom spline didn't but, the spline on the shaft on the steering unit had a built up line of corrosion under where the compression slot was on the old steering shaft. That line of corrosion acted as a master tooth and the only way I could fit the new steering shaft on was by lining up the compression slot on the new shaft with that line of corrosion left by the old shaft.
