tune up issues

[therover87]

i have an 87 k5 and i replaced the wires with msd 8.5mm, i have the msd hei coil, the cap and rotor, i have ac delco rapidfire spark plugs but for some reason my truck is running very rough at idle and it seems like there is a lack of power, there is a backfire through my exhaust as well any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you have a plug wire installed wrong. Check to make sure your wires are in order

From what I know about putting a different Ignition system on.. you have to have a Spark Plug with a higher resistant arch.. modified plugs won't run as well when your pushing alot of juice through them... a standard 99 cent plug will work better then a , split fire, quad split or rapid fires, or even platinum plugs... .....

37" SSR's Yes they FIT with a 4" lift and don't rub.

Check your plug wires first, then if that doesn't get you anywhere, pull your plugs and see if you bashed an electrode closed while you were installing them.

I'm so poor I can't even pay attention
