International Scout Engine Problem

I have a 1976 International Scout Traveler with a 304 V-8 Rebuilt engine. I have to advance the timing to where the line it is not even on the timing marks.i was wondering if i had the balancer off. then when i drive it sputters out a little then does not do it again until i switch gears.
