Crappy running TPI Engine...also, need stock runners

     Guys:
     
     First, the runners. I changed out the injectors in my 87 TPI motor 
     this weekend since I thought they were trashed from bad gas...more on 
     that below. However, I was trying to install the passenger side 
     runners with the fuel rail bolted down (anybody guess what happened 
     here?) I was hammering the tubes with a rubber mallet, and some 
     neighborhood kid was over distracting me. I looked up and YIKES! nice 
     dented tube!!! F**K!!! So, I am now in need of a stock set of runners. 
     Does anybody have any that they would be willing to part with? Thanks!
     
     Next thing...I changed the injectors out since I thought the old ones 
     were gummed up with bad gas I had in it (stored for around two years). 
     The engine was running like shit, barely idled, exhaust was VERY rich, 
     wouldn't hold fuel pressure when shut off, etc. Well, got them 
     changed...and was looking forward to my smooth running engine coming 
     back to life...NO LUCK! All that work for naught. So, here is what I 
     have, any advice appreciated:
     
     Engine runs REAL rough, hardly idles, and pressing the throttle WOT 
     yields an engine that takes about a MINUTE to rev up. Exhaust VERY 
     rich (makes your eyes tear), and fuel pressure is fine (35-36 at idle 
     with the vaccum hose hooked up...42 otherwise). As far as the 
     injectors, I used a mechanics stethescope to listen to them...and all 
     eight are clicking away nicely. This is the interesting part....when I 
     pull the injector harnesses off, I have THREE cylinders that seem to 
     be affected...#1, #2, #8. All five other ones made no difference if 
     the injector was hooked up or not. Since this is a batch fire system 
     (left/right banks), it isn't like I have a burned driver in the ECM. 
     Intersting thing to note is that all three of these cylinders are in 
     order in the firing order...so will that help?
     
     What I have narrowed this down to is the following: must be 
     ignition...but where? I pulled the distributor cap off, and had to 
     clean the white, crusty deposits off the contacts and rotor. The 
     module LOOKED fine (didn't test it), and I never tested the pickup 
     either (do these go bad?). Also, after I had the car back up on the 
     lift (storage), I thought...gee, it would have been a good idea to 
     pull some plug wires and check for spark on the dead cylinders...but 
     never got around to it.
     
     Any Felp appreciated!!!!
     
     Thanks!!!
