HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! 200

Did the problem start with the new plugs, cap, and rotor, or were those measures you took to resolve it?

Generaly, missing under power suggests a weak spark or a cracked distributor cap. It sounds like you are confident that the problem is not fuel starvation.

Pull a spark plug and lay it on a good ground with the plug wire connected and crank the engine. You need a strong blue spark. It is possible to have a strong cranking spark and a weak running spark, but this is the first test.
