Default Ignition timing help. Fully advanced and still not write.

I took my distributor cap off because I had been suspecting it to be the cause of some of my power loss. To my surprise when I took it off it was coated thickly with oil and there was a small puddle in the cap itself. The screw that holds my rotor in was also just floating around in that oil. I figure the oil leak is just from a worn gasket, no problem I'll just replace it. So I put a new cap and rotor on, and the lack of power is now slightly worse than it was with the loose screw and oil. WTF!?? I had set my timing to factory specs a little while ago, does anyone think that its possible the screw that was floating around could have messed with my timing readings? How sad I am
