Its missing bad, backfire, its like going down the road and turn it off and back on
Was it missing before you changed the wires, plugs etc?
are you sure the gap is right. Did you check or replace the control module.
Any water or moisture in the distributor, any vacuum leak.
is it hard to start?... Check control mod, timing, wires etc, egr for leak
A faulty ignition module could be the problem. some vehicles have one for the whole system while others have multiples. you can test individual cylinders by first removing the fuel pump relay, then one at a time remove the spark plugs and ground it to the engine block while a helper hits the key. you should clearly be able to see a spark jump across the spark plug. you can also purchase a diagnostic tool which you hold over the wire while a helper turns the key and it reads the current in an inductive manner. if all cylinders are receiving spark then your timing may be out, in some newer (96 and up) vehicles fine tuning of the timing is achieved via ecm in conjunction with the ignition module and cam/crank sensors. in older and a few 96 and up vehicles timing is done solely by the clock position of the distributor. a timing gun can be used to establish correct timing (refer to owners manual/repair manual for proper advancement or retard of ignition timing)
in the event that you have a properly working and timed ignition its most likely you have a burnt valve or dead cylinder, a compression gauge is the best way of diagnosing these issues.
lastly vortec fuel injection systems are finicky about fuel pressure, incorrect fuel pressure will cause the vehicle to run rough,stall ect...most run right around 60psi you can test your system by hooking a test gauge up to your service port.

I am not sure but you might want to check the pressure of the fuel pump.

If when you changed the distributor cap you misplaced the wires in the incorrect order you could have caused a misfire. When looking at the cap the correct firing order for a 4.3 liter is 165432 going clockwise. Also if you loosened the distributor hold down bolt and turned the distributor even slightly you could cause a misfire.

I know this is an old post, but I am aware that a lot of people have similar problems.
I am having a misfire problem myself. I found that my head gasket had been leaking and the engine coolant had corroded my valve seats.
If you have this problem the two best things for you to start with is a compression test on the cylinders and a fuel pressure test. This is assuming you have had a tune up.

1988-95 5.7L and 7.4L Engines
Firing Order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Distributor Rotation: Clockwise
SOURCE: Removed & replaced dist. cap and rotor on 1993 S10 Blazer 4.3 V-6
The firing order for a Chevy s10 depends on which engine you have. 1.9L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates counterclockwise. 2.0L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 2.5L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 2.8L engine the firing order is: 1-2-3-4-5-6 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 4.3L engine the firing order is: 1-6-5-4-3-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise.
