did you use ac delco plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc? did you remove the distributor and are you sure you got it back in the right place, it can be off 20 deg and still run, but run like crap.... also have a read thru this if you have not already done so https://blazerforum.com/forum/showth...0300+explained

When i replaced my rotor I did not get is seated all the way. It would do random misses and chugging. took me a bit to figure out what it was. Didn't look at what I had already fixed. Silly me. reseated the rotor and tightened it down and it was all good.
