Your pic is of a Delco L6 distributor, but your post is about an SBC V8.
Regardless: The oil-pump-driving slot end below is bi-directional, true, but there is a small dimple machined into one side of the cam worm gear so you can tell one side from the other. Also it is wise to bump your rotor to point at Cylinder #1, then mark the rotors' relation to the block, both on the block itself and also on the distributor rotor plate before you pull it, so you can get back to the same marks on re-install.
