Did I slip a tooth?

Cope said

The car ran great until it burned 2 wires on the headders. I changed the wires and it still ran crapy. 3 of the new chepo wires were bad out of the box, I got a new set of MSD street fire wires, blaster2 coil, new champion plugs and the car still ran crapy..

This is starting to sound like THE PICKUP WIRES FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR need to be reversed. Google "rotor phasing."

Bad wires out of the box..............most of that is LIKELY to be bad crimps at the ends. Stick your meter right in there on the wire conductor and check them, or try re-working the crimps on a couple. Pull them apart, take a small piece of wire such as say, one strand out of no12........bend it into a "U" Stick one end up in the end of the plug wire so the strand is folded back over the wire insulation then crimp the wire end back on
