Duralast distributor. I did the same thing. The distributor itself is good quality but....the cam sensor that comes with it? Absolute trash. I had similar problems.
Went to the junk yard and pulled a Mopar sensor from an old jeep distributor and cured it completely. (no codes)
Not saying this is your problem, you should also check fuel pressure, codes, tune up, etc etc etc

I'm going to guess you jiggled something when you were swapping the sensor.
I'm with ElMartillio - the sending unit should not affect engine performance. If I'm wrong I'd love to know though.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's running great right now so I'm going to leave it alone for a bit to confirm. My fuel pressure is good, no codes, and tuned up twice. Of all those things, nothing made much of a difference . If all things, the dumb oil sending unit corrected the problem (for now)
