Had the engine running fine yesterday, then come back out and couldn't get past timing issues. It seemed to have slipped. I thought it was the a timing chain but then i turned the rotor and the distributor shaft will rotate 360 degrees (or I should say slip 360 degrees). Found my timing problem. Anyone know what do to, fix, and/or buy. Or has anyone had this experience.

Snapped dizzy driveshaft? It's been known to happen. A new one is only $4 at AutoZone, but I'd look into why it broke first.
