Do I need to remove cap to replace distributor? 700 1986

I have a 1986 740 n/a with a camshaft/firewall mounted distributor. I bought the whole distributor to replace.
Is it possible to figure out which orientation the shaft on the distributor is supposed to be at? It looks like by guessing I have a 50/50 chance because either I'm right or 180 degrees wrong. With a continuity tester can I figure out where the shaft needs to be oriented?

I've never replaced the distributor.

Thanks,
Nathan
