Fixing up a stock 305

Hi, Im new to fixing up cars and I have a stock 91 rs 305 tbi, I just changed the exhaust and should be getting new headers soon. I was wondering what should be the first things I should change to get the kick back into my car. Its an ok car but doesnt have any kick when say getting on the highway, it use to but not anymore and kind of smells like a rotting egg if I put it to the floor. It has 122k miles on it and I wont be changing it to a 350 until next year.
Also I'm working on sanding down and repainting a dual snorkel air cleaner but anyone know where I could get the ducts and Hoses.

Thanks in advance, Id appreciate any help I can get.

Welcome to the site, Genhero. You'll find that a will provide whatever info you require, for the most part. The hose and ducts for the dual snorkel set-up are difficult to locate--and generally expensive. You might find the hoses at Modern Day Muscle, a board sponsor, or advertise in the Parts Wanted section of the classifieds.

Usually the rotten egg smell your getting is caused by a plugged catalitic converter. You said you repaired part of the exh system what all did you do?

I had all the pipes from the header back changed, a high flow cat and a flowmaster muffler installed, the A.I.R. system is still installed at the moment.

JamesC, thanks for the advice I found them on that website.
