Default engine performance

So I have 93 f150 4x4 with 302 . Some days it likes to pick up nice and sometimes it just doesn't want to pick up . I was wondering If there maybe something wrong or what . It was freshly rebuilt just gave it a complete tune up. Is there any sort of performance I can do ? I was looking to to get msd distributor and ignition . Also a k&n air filter but I can't find one to fit my truck . Any suggestions on what else to do ?

The gas is garbage, your performance probably corresponds with the gas you use and the amount of crap in it.

Can't find a K&N drop-in replacement?

You don't really want one. Too much air w/o doing a MAF conversion. Stick w/ the K&N drop in.

Then do this ignition system upgrade, allowing you to increase plug gap size & increase base timing advance.
