Long story made really short......Dizzy locked up on the highway, sheared off the mounting ears and spun the housing 180*. Spare dizzy goes in, drive it rest of the way home backfiring and bucking. (it was dark, late, and raining, and I was just happy to make it run.)
A new dizzy went in yesterday, timed perfectly and everything. My test drive went perfectly. After an hour, it wouldn't start. I re-set the new distributor (20* out), and ran my errands....came out of the store 20 minutes later to find out that the timing was 20* out again.
Any ideas what's causing this? Why would it be jumping time like this?
BTW....89 XJ, 4.0L, 250k miles. Original dizzy, original timing chain, etc....
