Sounds to me like you have one of the following (in order of increasing
pain in the a**):
- Worn out mechanical advance
- Worn out distributor shaft or gear
- worn out cam drive
If the timing is jumping around, you'll never get it to run right. You
can pull the distrubutor out, and take it to a reasonably well equipped
shop, and they can test the advance for you... (maybe something is just
loose...) If it's the cam drive, all kinds of bad things are happening
in there, no wonder it won't run well...
