May I start by congratulating you on the move back to a QJet.

"Rebuilt" distributor? By who? Distributor sideshaft play can cause unpredictable dwell results. Do you have the correct Vaccuum advance can? Weights/springs all hooked up correctly? (I saw an Olds distributor the other day that has springs but no weights....and he wondered why his car was such a dog!)

Another guess would be a worn timing chain.
