Sorry fella thought big and small blocks were the same, my bad 
Yea, they're not. that's why one is a small block, and the other is a big block   
yea, when you're standing at the passenger fender and look down, the distributor will spin counter clockwise, and #1 plug wire should be at the "top" of the distributor somewhere, depending on where the timing is set (I say top since it's at an angle... coming out of the block...the terminal closest to the driver side of the engine if you want to think of the distributor as being "vertical"

Remember,front mounted distributer turns Counter clock wize,rear mounted distributer turns clock wize.
 On Mopars anyways 
unless we're talking about a twin engine big block mopar boat, in which case, one of those big blocks will have a distributor that spins clockwise
but that might get confusing to the OP!
yes, your distributor in your car goes counter clockwise!
Not juts on the twin engines Chrysler marine motors, some of the BB and SB where reverse rotation in a single engine boat according to one of the boat mechanics I know

I suppose it's possible, they probably weren't supposed to be, but if they're making reverse rotation engines for boats with twin engines, then you've got them on the assembly line...you're gonna use them at some point, just to get them used up, so it's possible there's some single engine boats with reverse rotation motors on them.

The industrial 413 I just picked up is reverse rotation.

A boat I'm currently looking at buying has a single reverse rotation 440 in it. It has the motor mounted backwards at the stern and uses V-drive. The same hull was also used on another model with a standard rotation motor mounted forward at mid ship and uses a straight drive. The reverse rotation motor on the V-drive boat allowed the mfg to use the same propeller on both models.
Most twin engine models do have one of each to neutralize torque steer.

My Machinist tells a story about a 440 he built years ago. Customer kept having main seal problems, they went over it several times and finally ended up taking a really good look at the crank. Turns out the crank the customer brough him was from a reverse rotation 440 and the little grooves(for lack of a better term) that help keep oil off the rear main were backwards and were forcing oil torwards it. New crank and it was fixed...talk about a nightmare  .

Yep. Had a customer who made the mistake of exchanging a rebuilt engine, turned out his was a reverse boat engine. Long story, he finally got ready to fire it and I went over to "help." knew nothing about 312 Fords, or the fireing order, so I was "walking" the timing around using the valve closures. I suddenly realized that no cylinders made any sense as to valve closures and compression. He finally got the right cam installed, but somewhere out there is some poor farmer with a Y block Ford, that leaks oil out the rear seal because it's a left hand crank

The opp rotation mopars had a nice gear to gear cam drive , it turned the cam in normal rotation for the oil pump, seen a few guys over the years install the wrong turn starters and make a mess of things trying to get it running 
The reverse rotation engines cam turned the opposite rotation( R/H) but the cam & shaft gear was cut differently to keep the pump spinning the correct direction for the oil pump. I pulled a rh 440 out of my boat & went with a L/h truck 360 magnum..
