bad running

First off, thanks for the suggestions.

The fuel pressure and regulator were fine. I metered the injector resisters, they were fine. I metered the spark plug wires, they read 8K ohms, which is good, no drop outs bending the wires. Pick up coils in the distributor were good, cap and rotor OK. Coil metered OK. As a shot in the dark, I put a new igniter module in it.

Finally took it to a shop, they found that at high voltages my spark plug wires were leaking, so I had very poor spark. They had about 45K on them. Changing the wires fixed the problem, and the clean injectors gave me more power in the lower revs.

Next time I won't rely on just an ohm meter test of the wires.
