I keep fouling #7 & #8 plugs, then the truck shakes when I try to hold a steady speed like 45-55mph, let up and its fine give it more gas and its fine. What I have done so far is put a used motor in, still get the same result. Complete tune-up no change. The only parts that are the same between the two motors is the computer, distrubiter and the injectors. Any ideas?

Switch your fuel injectors of cylinder 7 and 8 with the injectors for 1 and 2 if the problem moves with them then you know you have bad fuel injectors.

Also check the distributor cap for carbon fouled points, also check your spark plugs and wires.
