Installing these rockers from 273 on 340 is this correct set up,I didn't find a picture

Are your referring to the notch on the rocker arm facing down? There’s only one way 273 rockers can go, but the arms can go both but only one correct way.

Yup. All good!Wanted to make sure its all correct, that being said notch i believe is down at front of engine on passenger side, the oil holes should be angled at springs, Correct?
ExcellenteYup. All good!

Not sure if it is the picture but some of the oiling holes on the top of the rocker arms looked plugged. Hopefully my eyes are deceiving me.

Agreed if the rockers were modified accordingly and ideally the shafts had an extra oiling hole for pressurized oil to squirt onto the valve stem.
I interpreted the opening statement of adding 273 rockers to a 340 to mean they were stock 273 rockers. If these are indeed stock rocker arms it would be beneficial to ensure the rocker and shaft oiling holes are clear of debris.
Unfortunately, incorrect. Notches go down, and to the front on the driver's side and to the rear on the passenger side.

Not confusing to me..... 'left bank' is driver's side in North America... excluding any Caribbean or Atlantic British possession like Jamaica.Why can't damn fsm get terminology right?
Calling it "left bank" or "right bank". WTH... Call it drivers side or passenger side.
Even 2 mopar sb books i just checked are vague as frack.
Down and to your left looking from fender into engine compartment.Unfortunately, incorrect. Notches go down, and to the front on the driver's side and to the rear on the passenger side. (Info taken direct from a '65 Plymouth FSM, from the rocker installatoin section for the 273 engine.)
When installed this way, one set of holes in each shaft points down (to lube the rocker bores) and the other set of holes points towards the pushrods, to provide oil to the pushrod cups.
Got the comp cam ones,used with those rocketsdid you get the hydraulic pushrods or reuse the solid lifter ones
