reversed distributor

[Raldel@domain.elided]

On my 73 Spider, the  PO had reversed the rotor in the Marelli distributor. 
In doing so, he had to break off the little square peg on it so that it would 
fit in the reverse position. When correctly installing a new rotor, I had to 
reverse the wires on the distributor to get it to run. In other words, 
instead of #1 firing on the forward position of the distributor, it is now 
the rear position, etc. What gives? Can the driving dog at the bottom of the 
distributor shaft be installed reversed? That is the only thing I can 
figure....... and I dont see any harm in it being this way. Am I missing 
something?
