Sounds like a timing chain. Does it backfire? Is the distributor spinning? Did you check the compression on all cylinders or a couple?

I agree :!: Sound's like might have either jumped time or gear in wrong :!:

Didn't the 305's come with nylon timing gears ? Seems the high miler's always wore out the teeth, thus easily jumped time.
