350 is studdering BAD?

Today when I got into the car to go to work it has a real bad studder when I take off. It is worse when the engine is under load at lower RPM's. You can feel it at higher RPM's (above 3000RPM), but its not as noticable. The studders get closer together as the RPM increase. When I put the car in neutral and rev the engine there is no sign of the studder, only when its under load. I used the timming light and all the plug wires are getting spark. I haven't checked the plugs yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One cylinder is not running.

Check the plugs.

Thanks. While checking the plugs, I noticed that three of the plug wires were laying on the headers. I replaced those three secured all the wires out of reach of the header and the problem is solved. Good lesson I guess, make sure the plug wires are secured.
