I readjusted my rockers today and I think most of them were too tight when I first put them on. After this the car fired up and sounded a lot smoother. I took it for a spin and it drives smoother and sounds better, but still the same problem that it just won't accelerate.
EDIT: another thing that happened is that now the throttle cable has a little slack in it and the gas pedal feels very spongy and light.
However, here are my new problems. After I let the car warm up for about 3-4 minutes I drove it about 5 miles to a friends house. After I got there I shut it off and fired it back up in about a minute, when I did this I hear a new sound, I now have a rocker hitting the VC's. I can feel it when I put my hand on the VC when the car is running. So I decided it I would baby the car home and then tackle this new problem (buy some fox body VC's) About 1/4 mile from home I get a new louder niose that is terrible sounding and sounds like metal hitting metal, but its louder and not as frequent and the rocker hitting, it seems to happen in no set pattern (not like engine RPM with the rocker). After i hear this noise a couple times and am pulling into my alley the car dies and I have tp push it the last 100 yards home. I started up the car again in the garage for about 1/2 second and this horrible metal on metal niose happens again. What could this be, I'm really worried and frustrated. Thanks for all the help, as usual.
