Default lt1 issues

First I'll give you some background on one of my camaros. I traded an integra for it and it had a really bad miss on one of the cylinders. The guy i got it from said the opti was shot so that was the first thing i replaced. It still had the miss then one day it started popping and decceling the more i gave it gas. Now it starts and acts like it's runnning on two cylinders. Now I'll give you a list of all the new parts i have put on trying to get it to run good. New cap, distributor, spark plug wires, spark plugs, coolant sensor. fuel filter, and a walbro fuel pump. The timing is still being retarded by 15 degrees and its only getting 15psi of fuel to the rail. So i'm thinking i need a fpr since everything behind that is new. But the timing is the one that there are so many possibilities.

Try messing with the Knock Sensor..that might have gone screwy.
