It is possible to install it 180 Degreees off, most of the time though the car will not even start, and even if it does it wont run very good period, its possible though everything on your car is working to fac specs and this could cause your problem, it pretty easy to pull the dist and flip it, just undo the same bolts you did to adjust pull it back rotate the spindle 180 and put back in, make sure that the flange lines up and clicks into the cam shaft ( inside ).
i would think with a 180 dist out you would get a wavy time on it but i could be wrong there as with my california car even 180 the ECU will adjust and correctly set the timeing , at least thats the way its supposed to be.

I did test that theroy too, installed it ran it pulled it turned 180, didnt have any problems.

Does the timeing mark move while you look at it or is it dead set at 12tdc or what its currently set at?
