My Corvette(s):
1984blue coupe
Default running rough on acceleration

ok,Ijust changed my spark plugs and wires on my 84.Heres my problem,idle's good but in gera and driving it starts to run rough,almost like a clogged fuel filter.It ran fine before i changed plugs and wires.so it tells me i have a bad plug or wire somewhere.My question is whats the easiest way to pinpoint which wire or plug it is without redoing the whole thing or is there a way?

Are you sure you didn't get a couple plug wires crossed? 5 and 7 maybe? They are next to each other both in firing order and physicallly. You might not notice at an idle with no load. I see you installed new wires,could be 1 and 2 are crossed. They are next to each other on the distributer and firing order. Those are the first I would check.

Welcome to CAC.

At least it was a simple fix.
