Engine rotation... which way?

Hi.
I've had a good look on this site, surfed around a bit on the net, and even read a book on it - the best I can come up with is the distributor in my engine rotates CCW.

Trouble is I'm degreeing in my camshaft, setting the max valve intake at 113*. But which way does my engine (ford 400) rotate? I guess it would be the same as a 351C which I know many of you have.

Stupid question, and I know I shall have the p*ss taken out of me!!!!!

Cheers for any help

Graham
