That is what it should do.
Also with a good distributor vacuum diaphragm, the plate that the points is mounted on, should move counter-clockwise with vacuum applied. Did you check the diaphragm for leaks. If the no leak under vacuum the plate might also be stuck. If it does leak the the diaphragm will need to be replace. This part is use to provide better gas mileage while cruising down the highway.
