went to the track last week, had timing set at 14degrees, with the spout out. made a few passes and noticed it was loading up. rechecked the timing, and it was now at 0 degrees and the distributor had not moved. reset to 14degrees but I have no more room to advance because it is hitting the upper hadiator hose. ever heard of this crazy stuff? still runs great now that timing is fixed. but dont want to have this happen again.

Your balancer might be moving on you.. If you advanced the timing again, your timing might be up REAL high. I'd check to make sure that 0 deg is still TDC.

Agreed. check the balancer's elastomer and/or find TDC, as suggested.

Good luck.
