1/4" movement would be a short advance curve, would probably be used with more initial timing than stock.  CCW is correct.  Are the points mounted backwards like Frank's unit?

The points are mounted with the stricker facing counter clockwise. I no longer have a stock distributor to look at but looking down they look reversed to me. As I recall in normal rotation the distributor cam comes from behind the stricker in reference to the points. This one comes from the front. I'm not sure if it would really make any difference. I do want to pull the plate and see what the advance really looks like. Chuck

Sounds like your points are "backwards" too.  I doubt if it makes a difference, many dual point setups have one set one way and one the other, and they are for high performance use.  Should we move this discussion to the technical forum?
