When you turn the rotor, which is attached to the distributer cam gear you should get a small amount of rotation because of the mechanical advance. You can also see this on your other distributer. If the rotor is not turning when you crank the engine you should be able to turn it around when the engine is not running unless I am missing something. Assuming everything is still in the motor, do you mean you can’t turn the distributer cam gear (which is good)?
And yes to your other question, if you replace the distributor you should also plan on timing it.
