I am also confused.... I thought that Chrysler 318's were 225 HP?
NOTE on the 318 the distributors spin the same direction for either engine direction.
Chrysler considers engine direction from the front of the engine (other end than the flywheel), so you have a CCW engine which turns the prop clockwise RH so your firing order is correct.
Does your engine not have tags and rotation direction markings?
