I can't comment on the clocking itself and basing this on my experience with many later Packard engines, the gear is on the oil pump which is accessible externally. Just pull the pump although seeing the marks to clock it without also pulling the pan might be difficult.

When I put my 1932 385 engine together there was a dot on the drive gear. I think it corresponded to a dot on the camshaft. You can't get the distributor gear out without taking out the camshaft on a 385. You could make a new drive shaft which clocks the distribute in the right direction. (I would think the 320 ci engine has the same configuration.)
