I have a 1947 Super Clipper-I also had vac adv issues. I caution you on your test of the vac adv. I used a hand held vac pump(mityvac) to test the unit. It tested bad. When I got the new one and repeated the test it showed bad also-I believe it was leaking around the threads. Anyway the orginal vac adv was bad-the car would not idle-now it idles fine. I assume when you say move the distributor you mean the breaker plate in the distributor? I also got the new vac adv from Max Merritt other places will repair yours at for less $$
