Default 1990 Mustang GT miss firing

I need a little direction, My 1990 Mustang GT, at low speeds misfires freaquently, cruzing down the Hiway at a steady speed it is fine. Now at wide open throttle it missfires even worse than low speeds. With the car in park, I can not get the motor to missfire at all? I have put a complete tune up on the car.

You might need to have the distributor checked to make sure the pickup is working fine or is on the way out. Or maybe even the module.

Not sure, I had a stock distributer from one of my early 5.0 projects. It was new from ford, so I just stabbed it , set the timing at 16 degrees. Got in the car, smashed the gas.
