Incorrect timing which shows apparent too much compression tends to mean that the timing is too advanced. Timing doesn't change unless the dizzy is loose beyond a fraction due to points wear. Check timing by the book. If the starter works, i.e. it turns the motor at a reasonable speed the car should start. If the battery is poor or has a low charge it will rob some of the juice for sparks but there is usually enough for ignition to happen. Does the starting improve if you jump start from a car with a good battery and the engine running?
