Two thoughts. What is the end play on the distributor shaft? Should be
no more than .015". If you can grab the action shaft of the distributor,
and move it up and down more than .015", then the dist. timing is
changing as you rev the engine. Remove the dist., remove the gear from
the shaft, and install a phenolic washer, reducing shaft end play to
.006" -.015".
Second thought, retorque the head, when hot.
