bad vibration down on power
So here's the deal Saturday morning my car which is an 89 T/A 305 5 speed with an Orielly crate in it that about a year old randomly started running ruff. In 1st through 4th it feels like a very light miss and kinda less power than it used to have if I shift to 5th on the highway the whole thing shakes like its trying to fall apart. It also sounds like there is a compression leak. However in nutreal just revving it everything sounds fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Because
I'm clueless.

Sounds like one cyl has an ignition miss.
Check the plugs, wires, cap, & rotor carefully.

I've checked the plugs and wires but not the cap and rotor. Thanks for reminding me of those.
