You may have the distributor off by 1 tooth. It will usually run but will run worse as engine gets temprature and RPM's rise as the rotor moves further out of sync with the distributor towers, this is caused by the centrifical advance mechanism. The other thing may be that you accidently reversed the wires to the distributor from the MSD box. Causing the distributor to be out of phase.
