    sounds like he has either advanced the timing too far or it has jumped timing stock it can only handle 12 degrees of advance would probably change the timing back and check or replace the timing chain.

    Time for a good overall tuneup.Plugs,wires,distributor cap,check w/timing light.Clean fuel system,etc.
    Chances are its jumped time and and its killing the performance and mileage.
