The first thing I would check for is vacuum leaks. Maybe a hose came off or something simple like that.

Could be that your points slipped and now don't open.

also, check the basics like the other guys said- are you using points? ive seen them back off, or the cheap sets wear out fast-make sure you use a touch of cam lube on the points contact foot. also, make sure the distrivutor didnt walk around on you. just start from scratch on the tuning and see what happens. good luck!
