I had a distributor / oil pump gear on a 305 get loose on the shaft and give me similar symptoms untill it finally got cock-eyed against the cam and jammed and died for good. At the time I was thinking I needed to rebuild the mech. advance in the distributor because I couldnn't get consistent timing. Before I dug into it the gear failed and revealed the problem.
