Default new valve stem seals, which is which?

Been a while since I did a valve job, and the new Viton valve stem seals have either a spring or an O-ring, but there's no instructions and Chilton manual doesn't mention the difference. Which is intake/which is exhaust? The existing seals all have metal springs.
