If it is starting okay, but you are just unable to set the timing I'd go with CDowns and move the offending fitting. It just may be that your are NOT off by a tooth, or two.

After I had a stroke, my Physician's Assistant brother-in-law said, "Don't look for a zebra, when you hear hoofbeats". I think moving the distributor, un-necessarily, is akin to a zebra. I'd try moving the vacuum part, just to be sure. If you have to reset the distributor afterwards, it won't hurt to have tried the other, first.
