Thanks, Curtis. The distributor is actually a stock Ford, I believe,
with a Mallory Unilite conversion module. Do you know it the Ford
distributor is two-piece as well?

Shaun,
One thing to look at is the Mallory Unilite distributor. It is not a
billet distributor shaft. It is actually two pieces with a friction
lock in the middle. It CAN and will SHIFT. I was having this problem
with my timing. With the friction lock as tight as it would go, I could
turn the rotor and change the timing.
The solution is to bring the two parts back into alignment,
tighten parts, re-install the distributor, and re-time the
engine. I did this twice and tossed the Unilite for a MSD billet
distributor. Attached is a picture of the Unilite and MSD for
reference. The balancer may not be the problem.
