I've seen distributor shafts have the rotor head on the shaft come loose. This allows the shaft to be pulled down from the gearing, retarding the timing. It often got locked into position from getting hung up on the bottom of the distributor body. It was an intermittent issue...hard to find.
There is an e-clip on shaft just under rotor that prevents this. So, your saying you’ve seen these missing ? Guess it’s possible.

Then why are we asked to help diagnose when you have bottom of the barrel chinese crap in there ?
Asking for a friend…..
That schit can cause all sorts of problems we are not used to. Seriously.

Well, the part in the world where I am (eastern europe), the chinese stuff is available. To get OEM parts, I would have to order via ebay from US, when it will be price for the item + 5x the price for shipping + 2x the price for customs. And wait a month, so the stuff gets here when the season is over. So its more reasonable to buy sumyungguys several times if necessary to get it right.
Sorry, this is the hand I am dealt and have to manage.
