Default bouncing tach, sputters, please help.

I just got my car back on the road, and at first I thought it just had bad gas in it it wasn't running as good as it should. sputtered here and there.

But now that I have drove it for a day or so when I get to 4500-5000 rpm the tach starts bouncing around from like 4-9k shift light flashing and it sounds like it may be misfiring. I have a gsr swap in my eg.

WHat could be the causing the problem?

I thought maybe a bad connection to the autometer tach but that wouldn't cause misfiring.

Coil? cap/rotor?

Please help.

It idles fine, its deffinately not the iac. It does sputter here and there, slight loss of power almost like its missing.

Is the igniter the coil in the dizzy(little black box, or is it something else?

My car was doing a lot of that for a while, I had water in my distributor. Is your distributer all fine?
