Chrysler 318 engine rotation identification
Okay guys here are pictures that can and will identify the rotation of a chrysler 318;
Vew into distributor hole reverse rotation
View into distributor hole standard rotation
View of 318 reverse rotation distributor tower - note spacer under dist.
View of 318 standard rotation distributor tower - note no spacer under dist.
I hope this helps in the future at least for the 318 chrysler, thanks to prowlerfish for asking me to post these.

Great visuals Larry. It's the best way to describe stuff. Looks like you have tang drive distributors (no gear on distributor shaft) if I'm looking at them right. Not all 318 models are like that though so one must be carefull. Some 318s drive tang driven distributor shafts which can be used for LH and RH rotation, and some drive gear driven distributor shafts where the gear on the distributor shaft is cut differently depending on engine rotation.

These were the newer electronic fired ones and you are correct no gear on the distributors just a blade, perhaps the older point models were different, don't know, but the camshaft gear should look like the pics.
FYI to properly allign the gear, bring #1 to TDC on Compression, there is a mark on the gear with blade socket, that mark lies inline with the blade and should be in a line drawn to the front intake manifold bolt over number one cylinder. Whew, but it works and that is per the manual.

Guys today as I was crating up the rev rotation long block I realized I had labled the pictures in reverse, I have edited the posting with the pictures and are not labled correctly.
Sorry guess that makes me a yahoo too.
