Your vacuum pot is not a vacuum advance, but a vacuum retard.

With it connected and functioning, it will retard the timing about 10 degrees. So if you are checking it with the vacuum line disconnected, it should be roughly 5 degrees before TDC.

BTW, that's too high static compression ratio to run with T cams. I would have the cams reground to E, and set them at the retarded end of the spec.
