The plate would need to move a few degrees so wonder if that is the correct unit for the car or has something been cobbled together. If it is correct and the plate does not move then I would say a going thru is necessary.

Several of the distributors Packard used in that era had a bracket screwed to the outside for the advance arm to attach. The vacuum portion mounted separately from the distributor and rotated the entire distributor body rather than rotate the plate. On those distributors the plate does not move.
