It is possible for the dist. to wander if you did not tighten the clamp down tight enough.
IF its tight and timing is right... just do a tune up. Fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, maybe even a decarb.

i think the connection on the battery might be bad, not corroded just not tight, i think that the little bolt is stripped becasue it wont tighten, i hope thats it becasue its 5 verses about 60 $$
any other possibilities that i can check out?
