you're firing order is wrong! and yes it is not good to drive it like that.
to check firing order you need to put your #1 piston on top dead center, then remove your dist. cap and see where the rotor is pointing. this is your #1 the dist cap. then go from there, basically what xfactor said.
you need to fix this

it reallt isn't that hard. take the number one spark plug out. place a long screwdriver in the hole where spark plug was. put a wrench on the crank shaft bolt. turn motor over (using wrench, not starter, do this slowly!!!) when screwdriver starts to come up you it means you are getting close to the top dead center of #1 cylinder. check the location of rotor under dist. cap. this is your # 1 cyl. then do as "x" said
does that help??

ok you guys hold up.this guy never even removed his distributor(remember vehicle ran fan before he started changing parts).why on earth would you be having him check his static timing by pulling a plug and checking for #1 on tdc?all he did was a tune up!!!! bono.look at the top of your distributor cap....find the terminal marked 1.that wire should go to the spark plug at the very front of the engine.then going clockwise on the distributor cap..the next terminal is 5 and should go to the 5th plug back.then 3.third plug back.6........last plug.2...second plug.4...fourth plug.it might help you out to have the chiltons or haynes open to the firing order section.until you have you firing order straitened out don't worry yourself with tdc and such.

alright, i just checked it and it seems fine. im going to go and get a new rotor try that. i just checked mine out and it was all dirty. then i sanded it down just a hair and now its even worse. so it should be that correct?
not this, now its worse. please help

the reason we had him chwecking the static timing was if somebody put a crappy dist. cap on there it won't be marked #1! that is why we (I)said to do it that way.
Bono take it to a shop. i am not being mean it just seems as though your lost and this (writing on a forum) in my opinion isn't going to help
sorry its suxs i have been there!
