Can't recall the exact details, but memory tells me that the distributor shaft is connected to its "driver" (not sure what you'd call it, but it's not a gear) by a roll pin. In the old days, when it was a gear, I occasionally saw the roll pin shear. That usually meant that the distributor stopped turning, but it seems possible that the pin could shear and the shaft turn a bit before sticking, hence retarding the timing.
Seems a long shot, but can't hurt to check. Particularly since if that is the problem, the timing will probably shift again.
