It usually means that the distributor is literally, 180 degrees "out" of adjustment by that much. The rotor is pointing in opposite direction it should be. It's usually caused when someone pulls all of the sparkplugs and makes assumptions that are not valid as they put it all back together.
Distributor was removed and put back in the wrong position throwing the engines timing off by 180 degrees.

The same as 180 degrees clockwise. What do you mean "the answer to"?
You mean: How many degrees does a hexagon have? 180 degrees for every side added after a triangle. Therefore, 180+180+180+180= 720 DEGREES
it would backfirer or bearly run
It will hit , back fire, and bang, but will not start.
If you mean a straight line, then 180 degrees.
180 Degrees in a Straight Angle
Start and run, no. Cough, backfire, yes.
timing cannot be off 360 degrees it can however be off 180 degrees. if this is what you meant, all you need to do to correct this, is to remove distributer, turn shaft 180 degrees and put it back in. until thi is done the engine will backfire like crazy, and run ruff as hell till fixed
The most common cause for no compression after a timing belt change is improper timing. Make sure that tdc is set correctly, and is not 180 degrees out of sync.
