I ask because I mark all my components with Paint Pen Marker just to help my feeble memory.
These are the only ones that seem to work. I use them for plasma cutting and welding also.

The Sharpie version I found to be useless.
This is a great question because the one item that can be easily installed backwards is the vacuum check valve. Every time I remove and install it I question it (the black side goes against the black of the intake manifold). Simply knowing black on black isn't good enough for me, I have to blow air through it and think about where the vacuum is coming from each time to be sure. The rest of the components won't fit in backwards and the system works when wired around the computer control so it appears the mechanical components are installed correctly.
