timing moving ?
I have a 1200 in which the timing moves. I set the timing right then run the engine for a little while and it cuts out and the timing has moved
so would this be the timning gear on the distributor shaft? (the one that sits under the distributor on the cam)

I would suggest your main bearings are shot. Take the dizy cap off and pull the crank pulley in and out ... watch and you will see the dizy move
around. End float relates to timing change.

I had a similar problem on my kombi.
Set to the points, set the timing. Start her up. VROOMMM!!
rev rev bang!
The NEW points were crap. There was NO tension in the spring.
This MAY be your problem.
Have you stripped the thread in the base plate so you cant tighten the points in poistion??
If your points are moving then you timing changes
Futue te ipsum!!!

To add to the list of potential problems, my kombi had a similar problem. I'd set the timing, rev the motor, recheck the timing and it would be off.
Turned out it was both the vacuum and mechanical advance mechanisms were gummed up and sticking. It's not too hard to strip the distributor and
lubricate these bits.
