The first thing that pops into my head is whether the wires needed to really be changed... I would put the original wires back on and see if the vehicle drives the same as the "new" wires. If so, there are three options in my mind:
1. There could be a seating problem (maybe due to vibration?) where the wire boots connect to the plug or engine assembly (no longer a distributor in my car)
2. There could be something actually degrading one of the wires. (Which cylinder is missing?)
3. There might be a problem BEFORE the wires. Mod motors don't seem to have true distributors anymore, so I don't exactly know what the assembly is called that delivers the power to the wires....don't you love tecnology ;-)
I would re-seat all the wires on both ends with a good dab of dielectric for the plugs.
If it doesn't fix the issue, try to find the offending cylinder and replace the wire.
If still a no go, you're not getting the current through the wire when you need it, and that comes before the wires themselves.
Hope this helps...
