Stan --
If you didn't pull the distributor gear, then I'd bet a cold one the timing belt slipped a tooth. Depending on where it slipped, this can upset the timing of both the cam AND the ignition -- forcing you to turn the distributor considerably to reset ignition timing.
A cam that's off by one tooth will make the car run a dog, though it'll start and run OK at low speeds (why do I know that?).
Providing that the timing belt's slightly loose, a piece of foreign material floating around near the crank sprocket can cause the belt to jump a tooth (seen it happen).
"...found a used distributor and..."
Just gave one away.
"Can you give me a basic set-up procedure for the fuel/air mixture?"
You obviously know where 'n how to set the mixture.... The only way to do it is with an exhaust gas analyzer, before the cat.
Note that if the fuel pressure is amiss, or if the fuel pressure regulator is plugged (NOT the cpr), or if the fuel return line is plugged.... you'll get the wrong mixture. Ironically, low fuel pressure results in a rich mixture at the distributor, and vice versa. Thus, you may want to get the Bosch pressure gauge and certify that you have correct fuel pressure before you dive into the mixture.
