I connected the lines as pictured above. The car still ran like crap! Even when its idling you can hear these pops that dont sound healthy. The car is still bucking under low RPM's and steady acceleration. What to do now..?  Im thinking of changing the plugs to a different brand say, Champions? just to see..I really have nothing else to check now, totally at a loss..

I'd pull a couple of plugs to see what they look like, before you spend more $$$. Maybe having the leak did something to them, and maybe not. But i think you should check them out before shelling ut more $.
P.S. Did you reset the computer?

It's either plugs or wires. Don't care what you have done already and how much. I'm guessing wires. Disconnect the battery for a while too. Fuse 4&11 hasn't been working for me as well as pulling the batt.

Todd it cant be the wires, I switched my wires while this was happening to a brand new set of FMS wires, the car was still runing like @$$. It was no different then the Magnecores I had in. The coil pack is brand new too, all properly grounded and what not. The only thing I havent changed are my plugs. Well I did but I got the same brand Autolites like last time so maybe a different brand might suite the Magnecores, or maybe not, I really dont know..I will try to get a new set of Champion plugs just for kicks..

I agree with Todd 100%. New plugs and wires don't mean much. I still think it is a bad combo of plugs and wires.
Ford Racing could of been misfiring right from the start, and the Magnecors might have some connection problems like mine did.
Funny how my Magnecors and Goonz's both installed around the same time and both cars misfired around the same time but mine was solved with new plugs, cleaning, and dielectric grease.
