Check ignition timing. Make sure fuel pump is producing enough pressure, and check to make sure the catalytic converter isn't plugged.

LET'S MAKE SURE YOU GOT THEM PLUG WIRES BACK ON THE DISTRIBUTOR WHERE THEY GO
I HAD TO PUT A MODULE ON A '88 A WHILE BACK, I HAD TO REMOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR TO GET IT ON, MAKE SURE IF YOU PICKED UP THE DIST. YOU LINED IT BACK UP ON TDC AND INSTALLED THE ROTOR BUTTON ON # 1 TOWER (MECHANICALLY TIMED) THEN TIME IT WITH A TIMING LIGHT
HAVE YOUR BUDDY CHECK BEHIND YOU
SOMETIMES I GET FOCUSED AND HAVE TUNNEL VISION ON WHAT I "THINK" I HAVE DONE CORRECTLY.
