760T dropping cylinders under load when warm 700 1990

If those pretty new plug wires are not Bougicords then they could be the problem. Wires w/ crimped ends don't make contact with the posts in the bottom of the distributor holes. This creates an extra gap the spark has to jump and weakens the plug spark. My turbo missed terribly when I jumped on the boost until I replaced my plug wires. Also like yours I could go easy and get as many rpms as I liked.
