I had a very similar experience and it turned out that the previous owner's
mechanic had hooked up the retard unit to the wrong vacuum hose, I assume
thinking it was an advance unit. He compensated for the error by setting the
advance to a very high number. I also know I can't do a static timing and
suspect it is because of the retard unit.

David:
Is your vacuum retard connected? If so, set up all your timing with it
disconnected. And start the car with it disconnected.
If you are not using the vacuum retard, then I would say it sounds like
you
have lost one or both springs on your advance mechanism in the dizzy.
