I'd also check everything distributor related as long as you're there. Look for pinched or otherwise damaged EI wires, distributor cap seated properly, etc.

It ran before you got into the distributor and not after so that's where to look. If the advance weights didn't work before and now they do, there's a change (timing change as Hanley stated). If the cap was seated properly before and now it's not, another change. If the EI wires were intact before and inadvertently damaged in this exercise, change again. Did you remove or otherwise manipulate the plug wires? How old are they? Did you remove the distributor or make repairs in place?

Don't forget the usual scenario around here, multiple issues. I've got to believe it's related to the distributor repair somehow though.
