Go back and double check your work.
Did you use cheap plug wires?

If you used Autolite plug wires they are usually crap right out of the box.
Plug wires make more of a difference than plugs do.
I hate to say it you are going to need to replace the plug wires again.
Order Kingsbourne plug wires or Magnecore, both of those are very good.
You will need to replace your plugs again too when you replace the plug wires again.
Cheap plugs are fine, cheap plug wires are not.

Deal with the front drive shaft U joints first and quickly. When it splits, it will poke big hole in tranny.

Default replace plugs

Spike

Why do you need to change the plugs if you replace the wires? Especially if its done close together. Not saying its wrong, just don't understand why they would need to be changed.
