Default OBS no power

On the old farm truck "1988 chevy 1500 4x4 305 TBI 5spd" lost all power. Idle is sort of rough. I almost doesn't have enough power to pull out. You have to hold it on the floor to pull out. Will not hardly go up hill. First I thought cat might be stopped up. So I cut it off. No help. Thought maybe fuel or air filter. Both needed changed so I changed them. No help. It doesn't act like it is flooding out "no black smoke". The check engine light has not come on. So I don't think it will have any codes stored but I'll see if local auto parts has a scanner I can use. I don't think it the clutch slipping RPMs aren't raising. It just like it isn't taking fuel or getting it. As for starting it starts fine I don't even have to pump it or anything.So I'm thinking now maybe fuel pump. Any suggestions. I really hate to drop the tank if that is not it. Replaced fuel pump. It was fun. Raining, almost full tank of gas, and by myself. Did not fix it. What to check now?Thanks.

Bad injectors? Plugs, cap, rotor, ignition module, coil?

Might have figured it out. The plugs that plug into the injector are brittle, cracked, just gone. Where can I get those?
