The early 289 Fords were notorious for jumping time. Usually at around 100,000 miles or so the timing chain would be "as loose as a goose" and this caused the problem. Almost always the car would be running fine when shut off but would not start ( or would barely run) when it was needed again. This was usually because the engine had done the "back spin" when shut down. In some cases it was possible to reset the distributer a tooth and "limp" home but the engine would be running so poorly it couldn"t pull itself over an anthill.
