Yeah, you do not need to disengage the hex. That's the oil pump drive, and there's no "timing" involved with it.

I just got back looking at one old breaker dist, and two breakerless dists. The orientation is so close between the three, that I want to say there is no difference, so I have no answer on that
One thing you DO want to check
Pull the rotor, and look straight down at the reluctor wheel. There should be two pin retainer slots, one with a CW arrow and one with a CCW arrow. You want to be sure the "dip" in the shaft, the pin, and the slot with the CW arrow are in use
See the CCW arrow on the left side of the reluctor in this photo? That's for use with B/ RB / 426 hemi engines which rotate CCW
