Something similar happened to a friend on the way to VTR in PA. He had
checked out the car before the trip, including checking the timing. But, he
forgot to re-tighten the distributor clamp bolt, and the timing adjusted
itself on the fly. The further we drove, the harder it was for his car to
climb. Until we found the problem. Hope yours is something simple like this.
