Nice picture. I have seen ring gears which don't have the arrow though (in fact there is one hanging on my garage wall). But lining the void up with the starter opening is a great technique. The way the bolt pattern is, if you get it off by one bolt you will be way off from the starter opening, so it really is fool-proof.
Now, if only there was such a fool-proof way of putting a driveshaft back together, after removing the universal joints and not marking the way it came apart...
