When my dist pin sheared it lodged back on the shaft a cylinder or two down. I was able to get home with some severe dist twisting.

Take the #1 spark plug out (the one closest to the passenger seat) and stick a small screwdriver into the plug hole. Slowly bring the #1 cylinder up to top dead center, you'll know it's there when the piston contacts the screwdriver and the screwdriver stops moving. Note where the #1 pug wire resides on the dist cap (mark it on the dist body, if you like). Take the cap off and see where the rotor is pointing. It should either be at, or in very close proximity to where the #1 terminal on the cap is, or it should be pointing to the direct opposite of that (180 degrees out). If it's pointing at any other cylinder, your dist is out of whack (sheared pin).

There was recently (several weeks ago) a topic on what to do to fix this. If this is your problem, check out that thread.
