Is my distributor in wrong? (pic included)

[Joe 5.0]

I have been chasing a misfire and have replaced the following parts:

- Spark plugs
- Cap & Rotor
- Spark plugs

The distributor is brand new, and is a OEM unit (not MSD).

Since I've owned the car the cap has always been turned 180* from what the letters say. Now, my tuner did adjust the timing by moving the dist, so I assume if it was ut of whack he would have fixed it.

Am I wrong in thinking that the MSD letters should be facing the correct way?

Thanks and any suggestions for a misfire @ 4700+ rpm would be helpful. I'm pretty sure the grounds are all good, and next step is the HI6. It made 400rwhp, then it starts to misfire and cut out.

Shouldn't matter how the cap is turned. If something was seriously wrong with the cap it would have a misfire all the time. What are your plugs gapped too? More likely it's something else electronic.

Direction of the cap doesent matter at all....

I take it you already changed the sparkplug wires as well ? Looks like they are Crane wires - are those wires new(er) or old ?
