Check the connectivity on all of your spark plug wires.

Make sure the tips are all having good contact with your spark plugs.

Make sure your plugs are rising up tall enough (or are the right type) to meet the plug wire contacts in the cylinder journal/holes and make sure your plug wires are in great shape

Make sure the right plug wires are also in the right order.

New stock replacement plug wires make a huge difference. You want excellent contact for the most power on distributor style ignition setups (especially on Nissans in my experience)
