Kyle,
Check for distributor slop. Using a timing light, rev the engine and check
the "width" of the timing mark. I had a similar problem a few years back on
mine and the mark widened out to about an inch. The distributor slop was
axial (up and down) and I fixed it by rebuilding the distributor and adding
some brass shims.
Good luck,
