Also the overwhelming amount of people who I see talking about how great these are on a street car are comparing it not to good condition factory bushings but absolutely worn out junk.

Very much so.

If you have a consistent misfire when cold on a particular cylinder when cold and after changing plugs swap coil with a cylinder that's not having misfires and see if the misfires...

If the plugs were done 20k ago they are probably just fine. I use the OEM Bosch FR6DPP332 in mine.

FYI, your connector body looked destroyed but not the pins. I've put pins into new connector bodies several times when I've accidentally cracked them during removal. It's pretty easy so I don't...

Maybe, maybe and maybe!

Have you checked the voltage when it's running to get an idea if and how much the alternator is charging? That would be a good first start.

My first guess would be to remove the bleeder and clean the holes in it, or replace it entirely. This happens all the time on everything in the salt/rust belt.
