Ps I etch mark may distributor housing into the intake manifold. If this is tight the housing shouldn't move. If the timing changes it either the timing chain stretching or a gear problem between camshaft and distributor gears at idle.
Same here, do it on all my vehicles.....once I get the timing where I want it, I either use a small chisel or punch and mark the distributor flange and an opposing mark on the block (small block engines).....a quick glance will tell if things have moved and if you have to remove the distributor later on, you have the reference mark to put in back in the same/correct place......
