Pissed off with motor, want to change

Check all the connections. Check to make sure the ECU/module is grounded
good to the fender or firewall.
I had a /6 that would idle all day fine. You try to put some rpm's to it. It
would buck and fart all over the place.
Had a 70 Cuda that would heat up the coil so bad that it wouldn't start.
Was the box not grounding good.

I thought of that and ran a ground wire to the box. No dice.
