Ok, I had a miss starting to come up recently so I figured it was time for a tune up. I figured that the motor still ahd the stock plugs and wires ( and I was correct ) So i bought a set of Autolite ( stock replacement ) plugs, an Accel cap and Rotor ( with Brass inserts ) and a set of universal ( the kind that you cut the ends to length and install the ends) Accel 8mm plug wires. Get it all installed and go for a test drive last night.. Miss is still there but not as evident. Used to only miss alittle under a load. ( driving hard ) and that was gone for the most part last night so I say COOL. This morning I leave for work and it runs like a dying mule, I dont get it. I didnt do anything to it lst night after I drove it. The miss is much worse now and happens all the time unless you are really into the throttle.. What do you guys think. Do I need to go get some regualr ole plug wires? Any ideas, think it might be fuel related or is it in the firing like I think?

Need Help fast...
