I'm confused that you say there's no difference between advance and retarding the ignition. There should be. The column lever is connected to the distributor by a long metal bar that goes from the bottom of the steering column to the base plate below the distributor.
When you advance the ignition the distributor should move anticlockwise. If it isn't then perhaps the clamp that secures it to the distributor is loose and isn't doing its job. It is located by a pinchbolt. The adv/ ret plate under the distributor is located onto the dynamo body by a bolt with a spring washer. Check and update us.

Hi again. It all moves as it should, the rod moves the arm on the distributor and the distributor body, it has an affect when the car is stationary and ticking over fast or slow but seems to have no affect when being driven.

The thing I can't get my head around is why the choke makes such a difference when it's not running weak.

Graham
