You'll want to pull the distributor and check the shaft for play as well as the lower gear for wear. Sounds like the upper bushing has gone bad.

If you need to replace it, follow the EDI Engine Timing thread in the Tech Article (DIY) section closely.

Could leave you stranded if something decides to go really wrong inside. It'll work until it doesn't want to anymore.
