Sounds like the mechanical weights in the dizzy may be stuck.

Without vacuum connected it changes by 15* advance from static to total timing. So where it likes to run best is at 30* static timing without vacuum, it pulls 45* total. With vacuum advance on it, it still should only pull 45* total at wide open throttle. The vacuum advance diaphram i have on it has the ability to add an additional 15* though.

most times they remove the power valve and jet up 8 or 10 jet sizes. Makes for a bad running street car.

Yeah it was used on a circle track stock car. The funny thing is, it appeared to have stock sized jets in it at the time that I rebuilt it. For some reason I thought I would need more fuel so I bumped them up by 2 sizes. It's definitely rich but not too terrible. I think bumping down 4 sizes from where it is now (or 2 down from stock spec) will get me about where it needs to be. Of course this is by amateur plug reading.
Oh and it does still have a power valve... I believe I renewed it with a fresh 6.5 at the time
