Re: Running like ****
First off proper punctuation makes sentences a lot easier to read.
Secondly would be to figure out what's not hooked up. Part names, locations, etc. Impossible to guess at what's not plugged in if you just name "loose parts everywhere." Sounds to me like a half-assed job. Your VACUUM line by the breather could be the PCV hose, which needs to be hooked up.
Put what compressor on? The only "compressor" on a car is the AC compressor. If it ran fine before you swapped out distributors, I would look at someone who screwed up the install. I hope you didn't put in a vacuum controlled dizzy in a computer controlled car.
