Default LT1 vette...whats wrong???

My mom recently picked up a 92' vette with 62k miles. It ran perfectly for almost a month until recently when it began stalling. We brought it to a local shop and they said new injectors were needed. However, the stalling still occurs. The car will only stall when it is warmed up and has been running for awhile. The idle will begin to surge up and down and stall soon after. What could this be? Is the opti to blame? The vette sat for a year before we bought it if that helps.

this year of vette has a non-vented distributor, so the opti may be to blame.

How do I know if it is the opti? Is there anything I should look for?
