Stealth is cursed!

I have had my 92 R/T stealth for about 2 years now and when I got it, the engine had a intermittent misfire, it makes a almost “putt putt putt” sound out of the exhaust at idle. I have since thrown new plugs, new plug wires, new coil packs, new ignition control module, timing belt and water pump, and found vacuum leaks and fixed them. When I did those repairs the misfire went away, wasn’t sure what fixed it but then it came back less than a week later! So then I suspected bad ecu capacitors, they were in fact blown, so I got them replaced and the misfire goes away, yippee! 2 days of driving the car later and the SAME misfire is back, same exhaust idle sound, down on power big time. I’m almost at a loss for words and I don’t know what to do anymore. I checked fuel pressure and I’m sitting at like 43 psi at idle and under load about 50, around the 6k rpm mark it starts to drop down to about 40 not sure if that means something. When I turn the key to on but not actually start the car it doesn’t build any fuel pressure not sure if that’s normal. Honestly I feel like I’m reaching talking about fuel pressure. Could I just have bad grounds and I blew another capacitor? Anybody got some idea of what might be going on? I’m about ready to throw in the towel at this point, I’ve drained so much money into this car and it just keeps misfiring.

NA intake plenum

I cannot seem to find an NA intake plenum online anywhere without the damn VIC motor gear stripped! Mine is stripped as well and is down on power on the low end and I would like to either find one that isn’t gone or repair mine. Any thoughts? Somebody have an intake plenum laying around that doesn’t have that stripped gear they’d sell to me?

What do I need to know for my manual swap?

Hey guys, I just recently purchased a 96 donor 3000gt SL for a manual swap in my 92’ stealth R/T. I am trying to look into what all this job requires and I’d like some help from some of you guys that have done this job before. Anything I should need to know or buy other than the parts car? Can I run the original OBD1 ECU or should I use the new one because it’s designed for a manual car?
