What order for piston rings 87 350

anyone got a pic of a 350 piston with the rings installed to show what the layer order is?

the oil ring is on bottom with its two holding rings on either side of it, and the top two rings are the compression rings. these are possed to be at 180* from eachother, and 90* from the oil ring. and the oil ring holding rings are possed to be at 45* from the oil ring seam, and 90*from eachother. so no overlap of seams. this sound right?

thanks

oil ring at the bottom, then the second ring, then the top ring.
The orientation (how they are aligned, rotationally) doesn't make any difference at all. They rotate in the engine while it's running, so however you set it up, will change as soon as you flick the key. That's like bolting on your wheels so the air fill stem is "up", thinking it'll make it easier to add air next week.
