Good to find root cause. I’m glad your team found it.
Now to shore it up and put the pedal to the metal.

I have a vague recollection about a smaller roll pin inside the
standard roll pin?

Hi Steve,
You may need to pull the distributor. A common problem used to be
the shear pin breaking on the gear to shaft connection. It would
usually twist just enough to throw timing off and cause poor running.
My money is on that, based on your description.
It doesn't happen often anymore but is more likely on high
horsepower engines.
Let us know what you find. :)
