Default Engine miss!!!

Ok guys, let me pick your brain!! I gotta 1994 Ford F-150 4.9L 300 V6. I have a miss somewhere! I've change plug wires (accel super stock spiral 8mm) changed plugs (motorcraft) Coil pack (msd) and distributor cap & rotor button and fuel filter!!! It's kinda slow to start (rolls over slow bout 3-4 x's). It will stay running!! I can drive down the road and it starts to act like its starving for power or gas??? My question is could it be a cracked plug?? What gives guys!!

That sucks. Oh well, at least you got all that other new stuff on there. Coincidentally I just diagnosed a cracked plug about a month ago. Pretty much the same symptoms you described.
