The distributors will have to be running with one reversed, because as Andy says, one is on the opposite side of the gear. The cam gear is shared so special gears can't be used to reverse the rotation of the 2nd unit. (back to "normal"). The conversion I saw previously by Nutrocker had both distributors on the same side, but the second one transposed 90 degrees clockwise.
