Bob, I don't know why it went advance, other that movement when I 
removed the right side wires out of the way.  This is probably the cause 
of distr. movement.

The car runs great, like before after retiming, for the last week. 
 Yesterday, I checked the distr. bolt and even with a lock washer, it 
was not as tight as last week.  I cleaned the bolt , and added a dab of 
Locktite, and retightened.
