Miss

few days ago, i installed a new msd distributor, along with motorcraft wires, an msd coil and bosch platinum +2 plugs on my 90 5.0. now ive got a miss, i can feel it. ive cecked all the plugs and wires and made sure everything is tight and in the correct places, firing order is correct. i have absolutely no idea what it is though. ive heard that the +2 plugs require too much power for the stock ignition system, but if i replaced the coil shouldnt that fix that problem? thnx for the help.

RE: Miss

get those crap ace bosch platnuim plugs outta there and put a set of copper resistor core autolite 25's I believe they are in

...that's to say you are sure the plug wires are in correct order and plug gap wasn't mashed if a plug was dropped........also was the miss there before the tune up or after???

Not only that, but you shoulda left the stock distributor in there. MSD's are garbage!!
