Rough starts

My car usually wont start on the first turn unless you hold it for a second and it's real jumpy and idles a 2100 until the car warms up. The motor is also very noisy and pingy.

I seemed to have the same trouble latey. I found that after I replaced the plugs, which happened to be covered in oil, it start much easier, and idles a little better. I'm no expert by any means but i'd say that you should check the plugs/wires/distributor cap, fuel lines for leaks, idle and intake. I'm after replacing just about everything with no luck accept for the plugs which made the most difference.

What would be good plug and wires, and a distributor is just a distributor right.

another thing is i'm pretty sure it started rough before the swap so i don't think it would be the motor

If the motor is noisy and pingy - you may have some valves that need to be adjusted - they are usually somewhat noisier when it's cold just because it's cold, but might want to have them looked at.
