FUEL-AIR-SPARK?
If it was related to a particular cylinder, you might try pulling one plug wire @ a time and see if it is related to one cylinder. (Hard to tell from the video).
BTW, it's much better to test stuff than throwing parts at it...cheaper too! (And, testing before and after changing a suspected part will prevent you from assuming the replacement part is working; NEVER ASSUME!

okay i started pulling the wires at the distributor and noticied one did not change the engine performance, tested the wire seemed okay, pulled the plug and that seemed fine, thinking it could be the distributor cap, also pulled all the plugs on the drivers side and may have re-gapped wrong now its gotta a bounce...lmao, might just pull the plugs and replace with new, others arent that bad but its the while im there thing......
