Yes distributor has female hex. Not sure if both directions will work (probably not) but it's CW. There are no dumb questions here just sometimes dumb answers. (from me). Forums are for all levels of experience and knowledge. No one knows everything. Every one of us started with no knowledge. I try to be right, but sometimes slip up with bad memory, not thinking properly or wrong assessment. I change my posts allot until it reads what I wanted to say. I can't tell what it says until I see it posted and sometimes rethink it.(brain lock)
I hate to be wrong. But I love answering because I learn by it. Look it up, study it, check to see if my experience/memory is correct...and in the end read the correct answer from another member.
