I am answering my own question for others incase this happens to them. It was the temperature gauge for the computer (not the dash), but the plugs I had put in the first time fouled out and had to be replaced again when we putin the temp. gauge. truck runs great now. thanks anyway :)

Corrosion inside the distributor cap. Get a new cap and rotor.
I would recommend checking for codes before you do anything else.
I would tune it up, Plugs and wires, Factory AC Delco Cap and Rotor And change the fuel filter.
recheck wires to plugs sounds like two are crossed
AC/Delco
try checking youre timing
have you tuned it up? plugs, wires, cap + rotor
u must of move the distributor try moving it on way or another to see if your problem fixed if not then the timing is off
Also when you try to give the car more gas. It starts to run very rough.
Rough Engine Performance AFTER Changing Distributor Cap and RotorThe only thing I can think of is that in the process of the changeover, the wires between the newly installed rotor and the spark plugs were not reconnected to the proper "towers."As a result, the spark plugs are not firing in the proper order thus causing the rough running. Since the engine will run, I also suspect that possibly only one or two plug wires are improperly connected.
if you take you hand and rube across the rotor and it feels rough or if there is a grove in it then that bad, a rotor should away be as smooth as possible, depending on how thick the rotor it you might can get the rotoe turned if it isn't too late
The injectors or spark plugs might be firing wrong. You should get it checked out as soon as possible.
