A few questions that occur to me immediately:
1. Have you checked the timing and has it changed?
2. Do all the plugs look like they're firing properly or are they all wet?
3. What's the condition of the coil and other ignition components?
4. Do you have an early style brake booster?
5. What color is the exhaust smoke?
6. What's the idle like? Same rpm as before?
7. What happens to the idle speed and quality as you remove 1 plug wire at a time?
8. Is the coolant level normal?
9. What's the condition of the cam gear?

I'm sure others will chime in with other questions and ideas, but if you're bored tonight and need something to do, you could start with this list.

Good luck,
