the advance should move with some force not too easy . usually the cap can allow moisture and with the arcing create a corrosion [ozone] causing the advance to bind, you have to use some penetrating oil to free it up .. then blow off the advance with air .. then put some grease on there. [not much]..

If the distributor cap contacts get messed up fast the distributor bearing is most likely bad. you get rotor wobble effect..
