Well I put the Motorcraft Ignition Module on last night and it still runs bad. It ceared it up to where its drivable but if you get on it a little or a lot it spitts and sputters like crazy. Im not sure where to go from here... if a list of everypart I have replaced and what brand would help I can list them.

You said in your original post that you replaced the distributor, so i'll assume it came with a new PIP module. i'd look into returning the whole distributor as a defective part, and get another. if that doesnt work, id say you have a hard mechanical fault.

Ok I went and swaped the distributor out, it runs better but still breaks up on hard acceleration. The distributor I got was a remain from Autozone, could that be the rest of my problem?

you sure you're getting the timing of the distributor perfect? 1 tooth off could cause this..

It is also smoking on the left bank, it is a little on the right but not near as bad as the left. Its light grey. Could it be the coil, I did replace it but it is from autozone?

I just got done driving my car after swapping the coil, I opened the hood and reved it while watching the fuel pressure gauge and it shot up to 45. Is that good or bad?

FP should raise when you rev it/ have it under load

It only does that right when it revs then it drops to almost 30, the guy that owned it before me also had NOS on the car if that helps any
