85 corvette tpi 350 swap

Hello all I have a problem,after me and a buddy swapped a 305 to corvette 350 tpi the engine idles pretty good and starts on the first turn pretty much and the swap went great the problem is when we give it gas it stalls and gives no power upon checking vaccum lines, grounds ,etc we found I guess a bad fuel injector I moved the injector slightly and gas spewed out the top of it now I moved the others and they didn't do the same thing so is this my problem or do I have to look elsewhere also what's the symptoms of a bad knock sensor or Maf sensor any help is greatly appreiciated thanks
