Change that oil and filter again. I'd definitely flush the engine real good and check all your lines (fuel,vaccum,electrical) under the hood. Give it a shot and let us know what happens.

I'm definetly gonna try that out. I'm gonna go buy those ac delco plugs, cuz i have autolites in there right now and that may be why its running like crap. I also ordered the cool-it thermotech plugs heat shields for 35 bucks, i highly recommend them for anyone whose manifold heat shields are all rusted out, heres the link:

i'm also working on changing the fuel filter but the threads on the lines connecting to it are all rusted so im taking this week to sprya them with PB and try to get them loose.

i would put some seafoam in the oil before you change it and maybe run it through the vaccum line too. That stuff works miricles.

AC delco platinums cost me $10 a pop, rather pricey, but worth it.

i actually installed the ac delco plugs to .035 even though my catalyst tag says .045, and it runs great...nice and smooth and more power...no more sluggishness!
