The easiest way I know to initially test the Vacuum Advance that is connected to a distributor is to simply detach the vacuum line from where the line leads to and suck air thru the line that should still be attached to the Vacuum Advance. If it holds suction, it should still be in good shape, if not, it's bad.
.....OR.....
because it could hold suction and still not move (froze up)..........
To check it well ya need a timing light just see how much difference there is with the hose hooked up and not.....be sure to plug the end of the hose.....check timing.... do the same with the hose hooked back to the advance the difference should be 12 - 16dg

It is possible that you have the pipe connected incorrectly. There are two vacuum take offs, one before the throttle butterfly and one after. The pipe should be on the one on the filter or intake side of the throttle valve. However on some models there are two pipes and the second goes on the other side of the vacuum advance unit that tries to keep the unit in the retarded position.
