Well, I ordered some new plugs from MPx since I'm sure the crappy Autolites are part of my misfire problem. If that doesn't work I'll move onto new wires or Coil pack. Anyone know how to test and see if a Wire is bad before I go and spend some dough on new ones?

auhh, the LNF does not have wires. It is a coil on plug design. Check the boot between the plug and coil. If this is the design that I worked on years ago, their is a spring inside that might rust through.
For the plugs, what ones did you order from MPX? I have new factory plugs that I need to install, and they are made by NGK also.
For Chevy motors, I have never had good luck with Autolite or Champion plugs. Even in the old car I have NGK plugs.

Well...turns out it wasn't the shitty Autolite plugs, it was a shitty installer (me). I never gapped them when I bought them because they were "pre-gapped." Rookie mistake, I know. Turns out they weren't pre-gapped. Our plugs are supposed to be gapped at ~.032. These were gapped at ~.054....regapped them, misfires gone and she pulls like a bat out of hell now! Gosh how I've missed being able to put my foot down

I did that to my old Laser RS-T once as well...then I blew it up at 42 
Hopefully this is the last time I make that mistake...and now I have an extra set of Step colder NGKs...whoops...I'll probably throw those in when I start my car on a steady diet of corn
