Can confirm your vaccum is way low. Mine is showing a steady 19 to 20 inch vaccum at idle rpms around 600 approx.
Could be worth a try to swap out the carb with a spare if you have one as your distributor side has been done and should be good.
A suggestion to contact the Early Ford V8 Club in Wellington as there will be guys who can assist and perhaps provide good advice and assistance.
