PUt it back.. sounds like you have no clue what you are doing.. Not a wise choice moving your distributor like that without having the proper maps set up for it.

Get a Timing Light and set it to 16* and adjust your distributor back to stock.

And Your main issue is because Your 02 sensor is not hooked up.. so that means you are throwing a CEL..

a o2 sensor is a very critical sensor in the engine. it lets the ecu know if you are running rich or lean. and it will auto fix its self in lean conditions. But since you dont have a o2 sensor hooked up you are running in limp mode that means your car is Pulling timing and its dumping quite a bit of fuel. Get your new sensor in. and put your timing back to stock. then pull the ECU fuse and Reset the ECU. then your car will run 10x better
