This doesn't look fine, sorry.
Check the return springs of the advance system. One maybe broken or disconnected.
Without cap turn the rotor gently clockwise, you will feel a resistance by the spring system.
The rotor should come back full by the springs. Sometimes the PO forgot to lube the shaft where the rotor is on. You will see a felt. This felt should be soaked with engine oil. If the felt is dry or missing oil the shaft with very thin oil (WD40 and better)

The vacuum is a advance system and the engine will run better if connected to the right port at the carb. Do you still have the Weber or did you swap to 2xSU?
Good luck, Kay
