Default Miss on cold start

So i havnt worked all the bugs out since the rebuild, but iv noticed on a cold start in the morning the car acts like it has miss. Im still having a idle surge every once in awhile and on cold starts when you give it gas you can feel the miss. The idles kinda jumpy and when you go to back out the driveway it dont really soutter but bobbles and act like its not hitting on all cylinders.

SO i pulled one spar plug wire off at a time,(motor warm) and i really couldnt hear or feel an idle change, just heard a little ping everytime. So the question is would a weak or faulty TFI module cause this.

And what should the spark plug gap be on a stock ignition, i think its at 51 nowi cant remeber
