        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.

I find myself kerfluxed.  I am helping a friend sort out some running
issues with a 70 TR6.  The car was running poorly and there appeared to be
some
electrical gremlins, so we proceded to sort it out.  We first  established
a baseline by determining TDC was in fact zero degrees on the damper
markings and that the valves were properly positioned for an ignition  cycle.
We
then set the crank for static timing and static timed the  distrbutor with a
test light.
