Finally guys! I went ahead and changed the plugs today even though the ones in there were pretty new. When I took them out for some reason they had this rusty looking orange stuff on the electrode and around it, along with some heavy carbon around it. They probably got fouled out when I was trying to get the timing right after I put the new distributor in, lol. Anyway I got all of my low end back. I can spin tires again if I punch it in 1st instead of just speeding up gradually, lol. SOrry guys, i'm just happy. Just to clear something up for me why did they look sort of rusty? I never pulled a plug that looked like that, I can get a close up pic of them if you guys want me to??? Anyone know whats up?

Awsome. It's like when I cleaned my MAF for the first time, it was like the car woke from the dead.
