Ignore the last 3 codes, they are operator error during the KOER test.
311 is thermactor system inop(air injection)
332 is EGR opening not detected.
A vacuum leak could cause both these, make sure the vacuum lines are connected to the thermactor diverter valves and EGR valve.. and are not broken or cracked. Autozone has some diagrams on the thermactor system in these trucks.

If the gas is that old it needs to be drained out and used for starting bon fires!! Fuel
older then 90 days is starting to turn bad and that means the octane points are actually
risisng and that means you could be trying to burn 200 octane fuel!! Not gonna happen
at least not reliably. Get rid of the majority of it and then refill with fresh fuel, a couple
bottles of HEET and some Sta-bil to preserve the fuel you put in there if it is going to
sit for 90 days or more at a time.

92 probably has a remote mounted ICM ignition control module aka TFI module mounted on fender well under speed control and code pulling connectors. In my experience they quit like turning off the key not just running rough. After running thirty minutes if the module is too hot to hold fingers on it for three seconds it might be the wrong module. See my signature below. Double check your plug wire routing and firing order. If 302 separate #7 and #8, for 351 separate #5 and #6 to prevent cross firing wires. It seems logical to order them 5,6,7,8 on the valve cover loom. Don't do it.

Looking at your distributor the firing order going counter clockwise is
1,3,clip,7,2,6,5,clip,4,8
6 and 5 fire sequentially so separate them in the plug wiring looms by running 7 and 8 wires between them.
The TPS is my next project also.

tps and more
Well guy's i drove her up the hill yesterday about 120 miles with out any real problems seems like the new tps and cleaning helped alot she did not stall. although she still ran a little rough or should i say very slugish could only do about 40-45MPH at best up a 6% grade i wonder if it is just the muffler cloged up it is the original one hum probably it and i think the other factor is just plain cloged injector's. by the wat b4hntn i have a grey module on this beasty girl cant wait to get her back home and get some more work done on her untill then guys i'll be checking in from time to time thanks to everyone for all the help this site and you guy's are awsome.
