Injectors? 200 1984

I'm having a nasty lope and rough idle. Mechanic told me it was my intake manifold gasket, replaced it because sure enough, spray some carb cleaner around it and the loping stopped for a bit. Now, very little improvement, but new, hylomar sealed gasket on there. Car loses power at odd intervals (not gear or load/up hill specific) and "chugs" a bit. My fuel pressure has checked out ok, so I doubt the fuel pump. Because of the carb cleaner dianosis, I am suspicious that it was a compound problem with the gasket AND a dying fuel injector. Now, short of pulling my injectors and checking the spray patterns on each one (the rough idle/failer isn't complete enough to get an answer by pulling a spark plug to see if the problem remains static upon finding the faulty one; somtimes the car runs fine.) what are some good dianostic techniques. Also, where do I get BG 44k. I live in Richmond, VA in case that helps. I would rather try to knock stuff loose if that's all it is.

Suggestions? Thanks again so much guys.
Just a chick out here with a cranky car trying to keep it going.
