What is still not clear to me is what caused the timing to change so drastically.

The original problem was a stuck open needle valve. I misdiagnosed it and swapped out the cap and rotor before finding and fixing the needle valve. When the car still would not fire even with starter fluid, I started looking at the ignition and found the static timing to be advanced to 35 deg. I never moved the distributor so how could the timing change?
