Yes..this could very well be caused by the apparent lack of exhaust.
You say those fuzzy things are plugs? Ok..I'll take your word on that.
C'mon..buddy
...we need clear pics to help you.

Ok.. it'* not only misfiring.
A quick AIM chat with Pinks, yielded that the car is bucking and popping badly when he tries to drive it. New vid on the way.

UPDATE!
markviiisvt4 told me that it is most likely the plugs. He does not recall changing them in over 7 years, so it is possible that the 2.55" pulley install killed the plugs and they were most likely on their last legs. They are old looking and are more worn than what they are supposed to be, (i.e not being replaced in 7 years). They will be changed tomorrow, with some new Autolite 104'* gapped at .055. Alongside of that, the coils are gonna be tested and replaced if needed.
Hopefully that fixes it and I will be happy.
