Are you sure the distributor is aligned correctly and not out of phase? Did you cross up the plug wires to the wrong cylinder on the dizzy, or plugs?

The firing order for our cars is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Don't ask me how I know!

Make sure you have the #1 plug wire on the right point on the dizzy, and then follow that order in clockwise order to make sure they are in the right firing order.

Firing order is correct,Its getting fire to all 8 cylinders, either too much fuel or not enough, i'm not sure plugs on passenger side are all black and on driverside they are white like they are still new so any suggestions anyone thanks
