Help -- 258 skipping badly

[pfz111]

Just put a new water pump in myCJ5 with a 258. There was a slight leak for a day, under the engine, but that has now stopped. However, the engine now skips badly-- not at idle, but whenever I give it some gas. I put new plugs and wires on, but it still does the same. It was not doing this before the engine overheated because of the bad water pump. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong -- has the engine had it?[addsig]

Check your timing and make sure your plugs are gapped right! Also check and your distributor cap is not worn out or loose. Check your plug wires and make sure they are not loose!

Double check the wires and make sure you've got the firing order right :-?
