check your plugs, wires, distrobuter cap, and see if your rotor came unscrewed, it happens sometimes. i realize you said it just had a tuneup, but still check them

does it happen when your car is set within stock specs for timing?

16* +/- 2*

well honestly i don't know **** about timing, but that sounds like it could be it. and if given some favorable odds, i would bet that is what's causing the symptoms you described.
but i dunno.

Huh? Im asking WHY did u advance the timing all the way? Timing (ignition and camshaft) play a critical role in the overall performance of the car man, put it back to specs.
