intake gasket may be leaking.
ign. wires may be bad.
double check the firing order and make sure it is for the year your truck is as they are different some years.
for 1995 plug firing order:

well it is running now but for some reason i thought of trying the older 302 firing order and guess what the truck is running just fine now. i dont understand why it is the old firing order on a 95. anyway im planning on selling this truck to get a new truck so if anyone is interested let me know.

I had an 94 302 bought new it had old firing order. My newest toy is a 94 w/Maf 302 it had the new 351 order when bought it. Think it just depends what was FORD had left on shelf and how early that 95 was made in the 94 year.
