Hit the flare wrench with another wrench. The shock of metal on metal will sometimes snap the threads loose.   Sometimes not...

KA powered Hardbodys were 1990 and on so...? can't be an '88.   Only 'start in neutral' is the transmission inhibitor or interlock switch. It may simply need adjusting.   25 PSI oil pressure is likely just worn bearings. The engine is getting tired. The more bearing clearance the more oil bleeds out at idle. This is hot idle? If at all speeds then look at the pump relief valve or gauge.   In all cases of "running like crap" refer to the procedure for recalling engine EFI fault codes from the ECU. This is a good solid starting point rather than 'sounds like' or 'feels like'

You're all over the place.    First, it was a fuel pressure problem, then the filter wasn't full, then the fuel lines, then the accelerator pump. Around this point we find out that you don't have a stock carburettor which changes everything. Then you thought you fixed it but the plugs were fouled (which is a result not a cause) then the ignition timing was jumping all over the place, then flooding followed by adjustment of float and then lean and then it's the ignition.   Find a problem and follow it through with corrective measures. Did you replace the accelerator pump? Obviously it's not working. FIX, and that stumble goes away. There is a procedure for setting the float height correctly. Go on line and type Weber float adjustment and go to the Weber side for this. If this is done and the problem persists then we know it's NOT the float height and move on. If flooding fix the cause don't just move on. If flooding it could be the needle valve is dirty or fuel pressure too high. Vacuum advance is only working at part throttle, it either works or it isn't. If it isn't it will have little effect on running, mostly mileage. Ignition jumping around is likely wrong idle speed and mechanical advance is creeping in.   Define a problem and stick with it till it's either fixed or eliminated as a problem before moving on.   1/  Get that accelerator pump fixed.   2/  Set your float height properly first.    This will almost certainly fix something. Anything left will stand out and is more clearly defined.
