Did you replace the rotor along with the dist cap? you should have. Not that it will solve your problem, but it won't hurt either. If you have done no modifications to your truck lately, you should try checking the codes, as the miss will be probably happening because of a failing sensor.

Separate 5-6 wires because your firing order is 6-5 adjacent to each other and you may get cross firing. I have always used Motorcraft plugs but tried NGK V-Groove (copper) this time and like them but it is too soon to tell how long they last.
