when did all this start when you put the nitrous on it?

With the stock Ford ignition, your symptoms can be caused by poor electrical connections in one of the plug-in junctions. Use the white goo Ford sells, and lots of it, in these connecters. The MSD box will cure it, if that's the problem.

Tonight I will run the compression check and get back to you guys with the results. Would dilectric compound work too? I work in a parts store and that would be easier and cheaper to get!

Well i did the compression check and among other thing and found out i have six bad exhaust valves and two piston without piston ring so i found my problem. Thanks Guys.... For all of your help!

i don't know it this will help u are not but i ran into something along the same line as u with a smallblock 350 my problem was 2 cracked heads idle good run ok but get on it and then came the porblems. good luck

I had this exact same problem in my cobra replica's 302. It would stumble when I got on it, on the street, but run smooth in the garage. we replaced the coil. we rebuilt the distributor. Nada. we fiddle-farted around for hours trying to solve the problem, and finally we were SURE it was the distributor - we took a distributor out of another 302 and all of a sudden the car ran great. Aha! I popped for a new stock distributor, put it in and lo and behold, the car ran like garbage again.

As it turns out, the one thing we DIDN'T change was the rotor - it looked fine, why change it. We put the rotor from the other car into the cobra and it ran great. I ran to Kragen, spent $6 for a new rotor, and the car ran like a top.

Moral: Try the simple stuff first.

All the best,
