Well, on my car, full throttle is strong. Mid rpms are fine. Low rpms is
fine. Its throttle position what is the problem. Cracked throttle gives
what feels like a vacume leak misfire type feeling. Its only sometimes
and seemingly when its hot (air temp) is when I notice it. Maybe im a
little too oversensative with my car? I dunno.

Well, I dont have the switches. (I do, but theyre not hooked up to a
knock sensor yet. (STILL!! MIKE!!!) My Ox sensor is about 3-4 months old.

Im thinking that when I had the + connected to the fuel distributor that
it somehow made the car run funny. It wasnt until it fully fried out the
fuel lines was when i discovered the new problem. Im hoping that after
the new fuel lines and new fuel filter ive just put on, it will solve my
little delima. I just have to get another fuel line and I will be all set
to find out. (Fingers crossed!) 
Thanks!
