Thanks. It sounds like it would be easy for an installer to miss that. I am planning to remove the distributor for these investigations as it is very hard to work on in the car. Is the phasing a visual exercise (just line things up by sight) or is it more technical.

Additional info that was not in my original post. In addition to being low on power at higher rpms, the exhaust system got seriously hot after about 30 minutes of driving. It burned a hole in my muffler. My best guess is that the timing is not advancing. I intend to test that this weekend.
