Default Ram 2500 exelerates poorly

hey this it my first time here I have a 1995 ram 2500 with the 5.2 and when I'm accelerating untill I hit 50 it stutters and misfires I've replaced the throttle position sensor, the map sensor and one other along with fixing some vacuum leaks, and replacing plugs and wires and it's still happening any ideas on what it could be?

Does it stop shuttering at 50 all the time or when your not pedal to the metal. Does the shuttering seem to stop when it gets into OD?

It'll stop after 50 and only happens when I'm not bearly on the throttle or at full throttle. It only does it between the two when I'm around a quarter throttle to half

Plenum plate. Open your TB and look at the bottom of the intake manifold with a flashlight, I'll bet there's oil on it.

the replacement of the distributor and cam sensor that fixed it
