My 82 is acting up; when I go to romp on it, it sputters and backfires.. It has 80K original miles and I never have taken apart the TBIs. What should I be doing to fix the problem?

I had a similar problem with mine & solved it (temporarly) with a can of injector cleaner. I eventually ended up replaced both inj's & it is running better than it ever did.
Oh, You might also want to check the ignition bits too, cap cables etc.
