Distributor Swap Question

I've got a kind of dumb question that i think i already know the answer to so here it goes. I just picked up a distributor from TrailBeast and was planning on swapping it tonight. My old one is electronic as is the new one. I plan on popping the cap with the wires still attached and pulling the old unit and dropping in the new. I shouldnt be able to put it in 180 out because its electronic, right? I know im going to have to reset my timing but as long as i get the new one in roughly the same position everything should be darn close. I just wanted to make sure before i got into it.
the bottom of the distributor shaft is like a flat screwdriver as long as you don't pull out the drive gear and you put the rotor back in the same direction you will be good but you can put it 180 out if you don't pay attn. to what way the rotor is pointing just don't pull the drive gear because then you can get it messed up
