But before this problem started there was another problem of when I was driving down the raod at about 30mph it would start chugging I gave it a little gas then you would here a popping sound then it was fine, ant help.
This does sound like an ignition or air problem. Did you also change the distributor cap and rotor as well? How long has it been since you changed the air filter? It sounds like your not getting enough of something.

The wires are crap. Take them back and get OEM wires or 8.5mm Red MSD Wires and don't forget the cap and rotor.

Well considering not all the engines run the same and all have their quirks, YOU are only the second one who has ever liked them. The other person I remember that had them was finally talked into pulling them and installing the correct plugs and was blown away. He installed them when the original plugs were fouled and thought they were ok until he swaped them out and had an eye opener.

I will say this a thousand times, DON'T BUY THE PARTS SUJESTED TO YOU BY THE PARTS COUNTER. They are paid to tell you that to sell their products and not to give you the best product!
