UPDATE.
I'm in Monterey - and yes I drove.
Before I left I was able to talk to Richard at Clewett Monday and HE CAME THROUGH LIKE A BOSS.
He had a 3.2 Carrera set of wires - but no 964T. But only difference is the coil wire. Others are the same. These were a smidge long so maybe that is a difference but functionally the same. He had connectors on hand - luckily - to make a coil wire - and shipped the set (3.2 wires plus the coil wire he made) to me overnight. Arrived 10 AM Tuesday. Pretty easy swap.
I also swapped the O2 sensor - thinking yeah maybe the Sea Foam killed it. The can does not say O2 sensor safe and it was pretty concentrated for about 15 minutes. Who knows.
During the drive yesterday I determined it unlike the O2 sensor was bad. While it was misfiring and AFRs were out of whack - I then had unplugged the O2 sensor thinking maybe it was fighting the situation - figured let the car just run at the base setting. That did help for a bit but then AFR's went to being whacked out again - with O2 senor unplugged.
I also swapped the relays - put another grey relay in for the fuel pump and put an aftermarket spare I had in that other spot (don't know what it is - doesn't matter). Pulled the original FP relay out of rotation
Bottom line the car is back to normal - ran like the champ she is from Denver to here. I left Denver Tuesday afternoon and got here to Monterey Wednesday evening.
Will be parked in the 964 corral.
