a silly thought is your distributor locking clamp tight ?
2 right turns make it tight ! 3 right turns make it striped
sorry could not resist it

dissy timing is on a cog that drives off the cranck shaft so it should not jump there if anything jumps i think it would be the cam as its on a chain
i think the only way is to start by setting the crank to dead top centre by linning up the ball in the flywheel (i know its a pain to see under the manifold but it has to be done add a dot on the front pully and 1 on the timimg cover with white paint or tip-ex to be abel to reset it quickly ) then reset timing if its moved if not then check the spark by putting a plug in 1 lead at a time and ground it where you can see it to see if you have a spark at each pug if all ok then look at setup of the crane system
if its ok then check the cam (just put pull the cam cover of the top and check the cam timing ) after that next to look at is fuel
(is it getting any)
after that its a gremlin and you need a preast to exorcise it
