Engine running but idles a little rough and after 3-4 minutes stalls out 200 1990

Sorry for lack of response- for some reason I haven't been able to access the board for 4-5 days.

Plugs were pretty close to correctly gapped.
But I tweaked them to 7.4 mm to be sure (and I cleaned them)

The rpm sensor code was due to leaving the key in position 2 while unplugging the sensor. Once everything was off and battery was disconnected the code stayed clear.

No other codes but it's still stalling after 3-4 minutes of stumbling idle.

Tomorrow I try to check fuel pressure with my mechanic friends' gauge and adapter at the line into the fuel rail.

Maybe it's as simple as a clogged fuel filter? That was the only thing sitting on the car for a couple years of body work (albeit with a long hose connected to it into the engine compartment)
