Starting over Maritime !994 Chev C1500

Rad started again, looks like the seal on the plastic tank is deteriorating or shrinking, it's also still running like crap, so I dumped some copper rad/coolant system seal in it from Rislone, I used it on my 98 Saturn and got an extra year our of the cracked original. I did try to put the new...

Radiator seems to have mysteriously stopped leaking, sprayed the tbi out today, seems to be running a little better now, but the engine seems to shake a lot more than i would think is normal, throttle response is lacking too, plug wires seem to be a little long, I'm thinking I should probably...

Rad is burst in the front, I'll be getting one from a local scrapper I'm hoping it's not over pressurizing through the head but the way it's running i can't be sure.

Got the plugs and put them in, so far the acceleration issue seems to have gone down 80%, but now the entire front end is shaking like crazy, need to seal up the exhaust now. Crazyness, tracking down issues and all that. More later.

Cold outside but I pulled the cap and rotor, cleaned everything up, running slightly better but still shaking, going to buy new stock plugs, not sure what's in it, But I'll be able to tell if everything is OK with the cylinders, if not I'll get a top end kit, and i've been told I can have a set...

Decided since I had some speakers and wires laying around I'd try to get a little more low end out of the stock system until my Xmas present to myself shows up, I tried to make it look nice.

Started playing around with the current stereo, waiting for checks to come in and such over the Holidays so I can't upgrade, so I pulled the wiring to the External Tape deck in the console, and with the help of one of the Schematics in the audio subforum, wired this up..(An Audio Aux input)...

Low RPM Acceleration issue

Just looking for some input, after reading a lot seems like a timing issue of some sort, but at the same time not. basic info: 350 TBI 2wd starts great everytime, doesn't tick or knock, runs great at idle, same when you goose it, even better at WOT but if you drive it like an old lady it...
