DEMON V8 CAMSHAFT

Demon v8 Camshaft question .I have a few questions. If I make my cam according to the machining chart in the drawings and use the offset turning fixture. The degree wheel will be mounted to the end of the camshaft that the distributor gear presses onto, the cylinder 8 end. So, number one cam lobe will be close to the chuck and 8 at the tail stock ? Am I supposed to rotate the blank away from me clockwise when advancing the 5 degree increments ? Looking from the tail stock end? Thank you all.
