I don't know I'll have to try that. I don't think it's the timing chain
as the engine is fairly new. I hope it's not the distributor as it also
is a fairly new Mallory dual point. Although with the comments recently
about Mallory's it's a possibility. 
 
Thanks for the input.
        
        Do you see it at idle if you rev it to 2-4K and try to
        hold it at that engine speed?  Could be slop in the
        distributor bushing/shaft, making the timing wander,
        most noticeable at steady rpm (loose timing chain
        too?).  Check it with a light at the culprit RPM.
