My timing used to slip like that , but it was the distributor was not  pushed in far enough.  There is a spring between the oil pump and the distribtor that causes the distributor to want to hop out of the drive if  the base clamp  is loosened and the distributor slides out in the slightest.  Check your distributor base for  a slight gap where it meets the  oil pump housing.  It doesn't take much.
