Crazy Jeep Timing Issue? Help Please.

A friend of mine just installed a new timing set into his CJ-7 Jeep amc 360. In regards to setting the timing, seems he can either have a good idle with rough acceleration and crusing speed or just the opposite, rough idle with smooth acc. and crusing speed. No happy medium... This is pretty much all I know about the situation except that he wants me to come over this afternoon and "fix" it. Can anyone give me any pointers as to what I may look at first? Sorry about the lack of info, I'm sure I'll know MUCH more this evening. Thanks,Mark.

couple things you might check are to see if the chain was proerly installed(indexed?) and make sure the distributor isn't a tooth off
