Running Rough
My 86 Vette is running pretty rough right now, I thought it was the plugs so I changed them last night (what were GM thinking - I wish I had a doll's hand on a stick with the grip of a gorilla), it took me about 3 hours.
Anyway, the upshot is that it still runs bad (sound like a couple of cyls aren't firing), I just bought some new plug wires today, and will try and fit them tonight (another challenge).
But if that doesn't fix it, any ideas on what might have broken? Distributor perhaps?

Re: Running Rough (pwrful c4)
I would check the distrubitor cap and rotor. :seeya
Also your coil and wires! My 88 was much happier when I replaced it all (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil) Runs real smooth now.
