It was still a good deal for $500. Thanks again!
sounds like either cam timing or ignition timing to me..most likely ignition timing/misfiring. Try changeing the cheapest ignition related items first. first then most expensive. It's most likely either your plugs or wires, but try the cap/rotor then replace the whole distributor.
