Best I can guess, it happened Sunday morning on the way out to Alpharetta for the C&O Cruise-in. Heard some ticking when I got off the interstate just before getting to the cruise-in but nothing too bad. Drove it home and it made a few interesting noises and the ticking eventually stopped. Was checking it out Sunday afternoon and noticed the timing had jumped from 18 to 26 initial (Had a full take of 100 octane so it didn't seem to ping/detonate on the cruise.) I knew the car was running bad if you tried to accelerate but was attributing it to an ignition problem. Anyway, pulled the valve cover and realized the rocker was not moving so off came the intake.
