...The little mark on the cam goes straight up at top dead center right?

...The timing mark can go up or down @ TDC it doesn't matter.

Explanation, Jeff.

The camshaft rotates once per every two rotation of the crankshaft.

So, if you installed the camshaft with the timing mark straight-up and rotate the crankshaft one full turn, the timing mark will now be straight-down (Vice-versa if you start start straight-down...).
This is why either of these two exact positions is correct.

But dare not place the timing mark to either side of these two positions... The easy-to-solve problem is that the engine would just not run... The worse problem can be piston-to-valve clash...

...You don't want that, believe me...
