Weird

So we got the stang running last weekend set time at 14 degrees, runs great no problems. Then yesterday she ran like crap after a few runs back and forth from stores so I shut her down for the night. Today I started her up put a timing light on her and it 10 degrees off??? Called a buddy of mine and he says its the distibuter. What do you guys think?

when you set timing did you disconnect the spout?
and ..did you remember to re-tighten the hold down bolt ...if you didnt tighten that bolt down it probably moved on you lol

spout was removed and no the distributer was not loose

Wondering if the timing chain could have jumped a tooth?

Ford tech said the weights in the distributer were screwd.
