SHE'S ALLIVE!!!!!!
Finally found some free time to get out to the garage. ...ended up having to take a week long vacation with nothing planned. It poured all day but we got her running.
We (myself and a vintage RX7 enthusiast) redid the timing from the ground up. I was correct, the dizzy came loose and spun so we had to pull it out completely, reset the oil pump gear, replace the rotor, re-gap the points and plugs then reassemble correctly, time with a light and adjust idle at the carburetor. We dialed everything in 100 times better than it ever has been since I, and I would imagine the previous owner, have owned it.
The rain let up for a bit so we took her out for a spin around the park then grabbed our other cars and went for a celebratory burger and beer. Good times!
