Do you mean the rotation of the dizzy? Because the key is offset so it will only go in one way. Just spin the rotor till the dizzy goes in.

It will go in 180 degrees off but with FORCE which should tell you to stop and rotate an additional 180 degrees. FYI Firing order 1-3-4-2

It can go 180 degrees but like the previous poster said you will have to force it, and don't expect the distributor/cam to enjoy it.

If you look you can see a slight offset.

There's only one way the distributor will go on so I'm not sure what you're asking.
