Duly noted... 
Question re: expense of doing these two items. I see I can get the injectors from Jon for less than $400 and plan to do those myself.
The cats on the other hand, though not terribly expensive for the parts, will prove to be much more expensive as it is most likely an item I'd have to have done by someone else.
What is an expected, fair price for having the cats replaced? And, how do I know if I truly do need them replaced? Just the main? All three (precats)?
Thanks in advance!

The exhaust sounds throaty now, like it has some authority.

"Runs great for about 5-10 mins until engine is hot then engine bogs down, falls flat, at 2000-2500 RPM"
To me this sounds electrical.
Maybe the module in the distributor.
Runs fine until it gets hot then breaks down under heat.
$55.00 you can get a better performing unit.
The Accel unit is 50 state legal.

I changed out the ignition control module, ignition coil, cap and rotor. Runs smoother but still bogs out. Weird that it is fine to go down the road about 1/2 mile but once I turn the car around, it then bogs out. I've seen people complain about their car doing similar behavior when they turn sharply. Any ideas?
I have an extra non computer, HEI distributor, maybe I'll pop it in and see what happens.
That would eliminate any electrical problems, then I could focus on the fuel injection.
Right now mine stutters on occasion then runs real good.
This doesn't happen often but when it does it's very pronounced.

GOT HER RUNNING!!! Changed out the fuel pump and sock....it apparently burned up due to a clogged inline filter and low voltage. Replaced the filter and fuel pressure relay couple weeks ago and now the pump and sock and she does not bog anymore!
Thanks to everyone for their advice and words of support!
