I've never trusted dynamic, what with all the advance/retard mechanisms
in play (not to mention cutting my teeth on Sprites, where seeing the marks
is great fun). If you don't have a reasonably smooth low idle, it's hard
to avoid some centrifugal advance. Nowadays on my vacuum advance AND retard
TR6, I just advanced it until it seemed happy.

Make sure you use 4th gear, not 1st. Also, I find rocking it I can
very increase the amplitude until it pushes the engine forward a bit. It also
can sometimes be easier to get it to stop smoothly than start smoothly - as
long as it doesn't stop it'll move smoothly. These things probably vary car-
to-car, etc.
