Hesitation at part throttle , help!

I have the 305 G 4bbl in my '85 Z. I just took it out of storage last month an it's been behaving badly. At part throttle I get a skip or what feels like a misfire . Under acceleration it's ok. Even at idle it's ok, with a little skip. I replaced my EGR valve, because it was original! It helped but not entirely. My rotor, coil and wires are only two summers old. Even the plug are fairly new. Could it be a fuel problem? Could my EGR solenoid be shot? Please advise, summer cruises are coming soon! Thanks.

Are you running regular octane, plus or premium? Do you have the tuned port engine in it? You may benifit from some carb/ fule injector cleaner. I think I may change out my fuel filter next and check my plugs. That might be a good thing for you to try before you throw a lot of money at your car. Send me a pick of your car when you can
