Results after plug & wire install Well about 8 hours later ( it would have been more if not for the help of many people on this forum) new delco and msd plugs are installed. I put the alternator and started back in, connected the battery. Car started perfect, let it warm up for awhile. Drove it for about 20 feet and it started acting up. back firing, no accelaration, ruff idol also the ABS INOP light came on!! never saw that light before....Im really mad about all the time I spent and now the car is worst than it was a big waste of time...

Yes I gapped the plugs to .050, checked the wire hook up twice. Also installed a new driver belt while I was at it. Everything seems correct. Didnt check fuel pressure though.

just a thought, if they are routed in stock location make sure theyre inthe wire loom between the air condition and alternator good or your pulleys may cut them in half happened to me twice.

since you did OTVC, where did run those wires?
I have otvc, and still ran them under the stock location, but I took that loom out, cuz they didn't fit in the loom. However, I didn't zip tie them, and I'm scared they'll space apart and get tangled w/ the pullies.
