Correct Ken and Rodger the first gen SB didn't use a cam button and my comment above won't apply to Dons motor (sorry Don). I thought Don might be running one of the later generation engines (it was probably a second Gen my friend was working on based on how long ago we talked about it).
I also thought about the possibility that the roll pin holding the distributor gear to the shaft might have sheared but the gear still being tight enough on the shaft to only gradually creep back causing the timing to gradually change (I've run into that a couple of times). The only problem with that is the timing change that occurs is for it to retard the timing not advance it.
So basically guys, I got nothin but will be interested in seeing what Don does find.

I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
Hated to see that news, he was a good online friend.
