Are you removing the plug wires while cranking the engine or with the engine running? This can ruin the coil. Why are you doing this? Do sparks still jump from the wires with them connected to the plugs?

the car was missin bad. i pulled the wires why the car was running. i had 2 burnt valves, replaced the head and it idles fine but as some as you push the gas it bogs down and trys to go dead. i pulled the wires back up just to see if it was sparkin like that still and it is. ive never seen one spark like that unless the wires are bad but ive done put 4 different sets of new wires on it.
