Running rough
I got a 96 f150 straight 6 300 5speed manual that was running ok but not perfect so I gave it a tune up spark plugs and wires but and in the process of doing that I snapped a vacuum line and I fixed that but now the truck is running worse than before I also changed cap ,rotor and ignition coil thinking that was the problem but it was not i need help to fix it it’s my only way to work and high school

The paper clip method will not work on a 1996 F150/Bronco, they are OBD-II. Requires a code reader.

since things are worse than when you started, i would, in no particular order ...
check for additional vacuum line breaks;
check that you have re-installed the spark plug leads correctly;
check that the distributor cap is seated correctly (what brand of parts did you get, by the way ?).
as stated, describe how and when it runs poorly.
