Default Misfire and/or fouled plug?

I swapped my intake for a Track Heat from Trick Flow but in the process water/collant went into a cylinder. I soaked out as much as possible but when I started it up it blew white smoke for a little...
After all was said and done I think Ive got either a misfire or that one plug is fouled up beecause I can hear a little put and the car doesn't feel like its running on all 8. Would that mess up the plug enough so I should replce them all? Also can someone tell me how to hook up the wires from the distributor to the plugs. I think Ive got them but I could be wrong because of this misfire..
Thanks for the help guys...

If coolant went into the cylinder, you can bet some made it past the rings and into the oil. That's why he suggested changing the oil, because it's probably contaminated with coolant. And since you started the car, that means this contaminated oil went thru the filter, so change the filter as well [sm=smiley6.gif]

ARE YOU SERIOUS??????????????

You didnt change the oil after the swap?Didnt you drain the coolant before you did the swap?

You have done nothing good for your mains with that coolant/oil mix.

For future reference change the oil after an intake swap even if you didnt spill a drop of coolant anywhere!

While youre at it give the car a tune up with that oil change.
