So what does the fuel spray from the injectors look like? The 2 injectors should spray a nice cone shape mist, no dripping at all. Possible fuel regulator may need to be rebuilt in the TBI.

Well you could have the ignition control module tested, and check the two wires in the distributor from the pick up coil going to that center piece. Gently pull on them, they will brake right there.
