That would be cool. I kinda miss the carb'd 350 I had in my 83 Z28.
Are you running a 6al now? If so just take it out and see if it runs normal. I tried this when my car was running like garbage. I had a 6a, took it out, made no difference to the problem, reinstalled it after figuring out the inside of my opti was a rusted disc of garbage.

I would replace the ignition module. I had the same thing happen to me few years ago, it would idle for about 15 mins and die. So, I replaced the module and it fixed the problem.

get a test light and check the voltage at each injector, wait till the car is warm (or at the temp where it has missed in the past week) if everything is firing, check the spark plugs, and plug wires. How many miles are on the opti? And have you done anything to your valve train, when i changed cams i didnt properly adjust my rockers and after a week one cam loose, took me a month to figure it out. Check maf, by having the car run and tap it w/ the butt of a hammer, if it stumbles bad maf. Keep posting and don't get fed up, these cars are a pita but you'll get it. let us know
