i would say timing since its spark knocking

Unplug Mass Air while Running and see if it runs better If not Plug M/A back up then unplug the O2 Sensor or sensors.

i have the pro m on mine.. its plug and play everythings labeled.

the dizzy is the distributer.. sometimes the pickup coil goes bad so it doesnt fire...

it really sounds like a timing problem... maybe the plug wires are on wrong
