Car will start. Idles ok a little rough. When driving slow taking off. then once it shifts into 2nd runs like bat out of hell. advanced timing ran great. then did it again. now timing advaced can't go any farther unless i remove guide bolts. I checked timing marks. they are ok. this all started slowly, then got worse to the point where I could run faster than car would take off. whats wrong or where do I go from here?

Make sure that the spark advance is advancing. Pull the vacuum line off the distributer and plug it. If it gets no worse your spark advance isn't.
