Default 5.0 problem...help

i have a 93 cobra with a 347, jba headers and accufab 75 mm throttle body and egr spacer. i just replaced upper and lower cobra manifold for a holley systemax. i also put in a msd distibutor too. after putting every thing in i noticed my oil relocation kit was leaking bed and no oil pressure. i took the relocation kit out and put it back to stock. once i did that oil pressure resumed on my gauges(autometer phantom series). i also noticed idle was realy bad and headers were clowing red. i check my timming and it was all the way off. set to 8 degress headers still glowing coolant temp went up after less then 5 minute to 180 were it stayed steady. can some one help. thxs. did i mess my motor up?

If your headers are glowng red hot then your timing is way off, im saying at least 180 degrees off.

Make sure to put the dizzy in right. I ran into same problem.

Also u have pics of that Cobra?!?
