Need Help! Fast!

On my way to work last night i blew a radiator line.. This morning i got everything to fix it and it took 2 and a half gallons of anti freeze to fill back up.. my temp gauge didnt go up past the A on the Normal and shut it off.. but on my way home feels like extreme loss of power and when you manually shift when you finally get to a high rpm it starts missing and trys to fall on its face... think its my heads? or poss. sucked anti freeze in threw my throttle body or maybe in my distrubitor cap? I know it soaked the whole motor.. need to fig out soon my only vehicle to get me to work

I would start by looking at and probably replacing the air filter. Maybe check under the distributor cap. Is there any coolant standing by your spark plugs? Which engine do you have? I assume 1992 F-150?

I would check all the spark plug wires and make sure you didn't knock one lose when your were doing your repairs. Check all other electrical connections. Check the connectors that go to your distributor and make sure no coolant got in there.

Hopefully this isn't the case, but if it overheated badly enough when the hose blew you could have blown a head gasket. I would start with checking the simple things first though.
