    You can find a suitable size brass threaded plug at your local parts store to put in there temporarily,,,or just replace the sender unit altogether,,,,,,Souns like your firing order and timing is all messed up,,,maybee you have some bad plug leads as well,,just check it over again,,,take your time,,take the cap and rotor off, and check to carbon marks,,"Tracking" on the inside of the cap,,you are definately getting spark while the intake valves are open on at least one cylinder.
    Best solution is to borrow a whole cap and leads from another Known good running chev V8 and swap them out with yours,,,and re-time the car.
