Hi all, first time posting!

I bought a 1988 2.9 ranger. 4x4 w/ stick-shift. It initially drove OK but sounded lean.
It has 210K miles and hadn't had a tuneup in I don't know how long.

I replaced following:
Oil
Oil Filter
Spark-plugs (previous ones were corroded and required patients to remove)
- I did torque the new plugs to book spec
Wires
Distributor + Cap + Rotor
Ignition Coil

I had to remove some vacuum lines for this process and put them back. None of them seemed cracked when I put them back.

A negative wire to ignition coil broke in the tune up process and so I had to re-strip and hook that up again. This broken wire was causing no firing at all.

Now, when I start the truck it idles with an easily audible misfire and doesn't go away after accelerating just gets faster.

I've tried unplugging each plug but I can hear a change for each when unplugging so I assume wires are fine?

I used a timer light on #1 plug after installing new distributor and it seems to run as best it can when "TC" (top center) is inside the circular hole. (Sorry, I don't know the name of it)
I did read somewhere that I should have it at 10 degrees. But we tried the whole range of degrees (at least where it wouldn't stall) and all the degree marks still had the intermittent misfire.

I tried to get the new distributor + rotor as spot on to the old one as I could.
