Bob, thanks very much indeed for that explanation. You have confirmed my gut feel that 20° BTDC was excessive for my 65's static timing.This is my first seven and I have no feel or "ear" for the engine yet. It is a two bearing crank and I really don't want to mess up what is the original engine, so thanks for the warning about use of the manual advance and retard lever. I suspect you have also explained the two tiny nicks a previous owner has put on the steering wheel's timing mechanism, which exactly bracket the lever.

Thanks also to everyone else who has taken time to share their advice and for bearing with this novice sevener.
