If you didn't block the back of the engine up when you dropped the tranny the distributer will hit the fire wall. if so that could tweak your timing. Heck if done hard enough it could bend the distributer. Did you change the flywheel, or starter while the tranny was out? If not then it shouldn't be able to change the gap between teeth. I would still double check the ground connection. to make sure it is good you can use jumper cables from the neg post to the block. If none of that helps it is time to go deeper.
