Shifting later after installing HEI??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I fixed one thing and break another!

I installed a new HEI distributor last night along with plugs and wires to replace my old points distributor. (THANKS ED!)
On the way home it was shifting really late, almost seemed like it wasn't going to shift at all.
Did I bump something during the install?
Does the new HEI have anythink to do with it?
What should I look at?

Engine runs nice now and idles at a lower RPM.
This is on a 72 c10 with 350 motor and transmission.
