Question 92 RS needs help

so i just picked up a 92 rs with the 305sb, tbi, and a 700r4 auto trans in it. its got a few miles and runs ok but i bought it with the intention of fixing it... It's my daily driver so im not trying to make a drag car, but i am tryin to kick it up a notch on the street. First i gotta fix the problems, but i dont know where to start.. can anyone start me in the right direction

The main problem is the high miles 305 TBI and nothing short of spending a lot of money NOTHING is going to help. My opinion it is a grocery getter to start with and NOT a performance car.

well first and foremost is the idle and firing... im gonna mess with the timing and start cleaning up the fuel delivery.... but it idles high and when sitting at a light the idle isnt consistant.. then when i give it gas it sounds rough and acts like theres an exhaust leak thats causing loss of power

id start with doing a basic tune up.you may have an exhaust leak, and you could have a vacuum leak
