Neil,
Only if the distributor timing was never changed.  However, generally a
273 would go through as least a few sets of points for each cam they go
through.  :-)
You can advance your distributor all you want even if the cam is
retarded.

Subject: timing chain blues

well I got in to the timing case yesterday and indeed my litle 273 had a
very, very loose and floppy chain.Little suprise as the  bolt with the
hole thru it that oils the chain has been replaced with a solid one,
probably burnt out the chain maybe. I am gonna replace it.  
   My question is when a timing chain is that loose, doesnt that mean
   the cam would be running  "behind" the crank? 
   Could u  say in effect the cam was running " retarded"?
   AND since the distributor runs via  the cam would that mean my timing
   was also retarded?
    just trying to get my mind around this.
