Exclamation 95 GT ignition problem (help!)

my engine is bone stock, w/ the exception of a newly installed msd distrib and coil. The motor has a slight stumble under accelleration. It has been timed over and over again. I want to get it running smooth before I start doing engine bolt-ons. Stock fuel pump is running at about 29-30lbs. Plus its not setting off any check lights. Does anyone know what direction I need to go in?

You are only getting 29-30 psi at the rail? I would go ahead and upgrade the fuel pump and get a fuel pressure regulator. Replace the plugs, wires, and fuel filter while you are at it. Make sure you have your firing order correct. My brother built a nice 95gt but accidently crossed 2 plug wires and it ran great except for a small stumble and he didn't think about something as little as that. Just do a tune up and double check everything and see how it goes from there.
