Engine Mechanical problem
1980 GMC Jimmy V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

The engine will start but will not idle and cuts off. I discovered that the distributor was lose. I have attempted to reset the timing without much success.
It is possible that the timing belt/chain is the problem? What do I need to do to sovle this problem?
