Can you move the distributor by hand?

So what makes you think it is moving if it is tightened down and you can't move it by hand?

That is a pretty good sign...is it rotating I guess? Is it properly seated into the end of the cam? Are all 3 hold down bolts tight? Sounds like a funky issue you are having.
