If the arm/clamp screw is backed off does the distributor rotate?

The distributor will rotate if the clamp is loosened, but when the clamp is tightened, the distributor will not move.

If the engine really is a a "car" engine, then it would seem that I need the car (angled) bracket. It's starting to look like I have a car engine with a truck vacuum advance paired with a car clamp.
