If your distributer is wearing out it will become sloppy and the timing will change. I had this happen with a 6 cyl 72 Olds Omega. The bushing in the distributer was worn and developed a lot of play.
Your dist. could be worn and has too much play
Your timing chain could be stretched
Your dist. plate inside could be moving
Your hold down bolt could be loose..
