Before I tear it out...

Well, I'm re-thinking my plan to pull out the idi and install the idit...the old girl doesn't smoke, but uses some oil and has very little power. Any suggestions before I delve into this job?

How old are the injection pump and the injectors? When was the last time it was timed?

replace injectors, your injectors and injection pump have the same wear time and it could be causing it to lack serious power. I would throw in new injectors and whatnot.
