General engine questions/issues that aren't specific to the other categories

#251894 i thought i blew a head gasket the other week on my car,
changed it, new spark plugs, oil change the works...
the problem with the car was a misfire (didnt realize it was a distributor)...

normally when i let on the gas it gets the car up to speed , then if i let off a little bit on the pedal it speeds up real quick
. ..well after doing the head gasket, and putting my buddys old working distributor on it still doesnt pick up when i let off the gas

....the rpms are high when im in second gear (not normal) and ill only be going 25 or 30 and it just seems like its being held back

...my buddy said i could have put a nonvtec distributor on and is that possible?... please any info would be greatly appreciated.
