I swapped the rotor, cap, and wires. I did not swap the plugs or the wire from the ignition coil because my deep sockets are at my dads house an hour 1/2 away and the ignition wires are different sizes due to my replacing of the ignition coil.

I immediately noticed a difference though in the idle speed. Before, I was running around 1500 rpm at idle in park and neutral. After the switch, it dropped to around 1000 rpm. I did not see a marked difference in the loss of power. The engine still bogged down upon acceleration from a stop. Also, I received the same rich/lean mixture at idle code.
