I'm not as experienced with T3's as allot of the guys here on this site, but it sounds to me like a fuel starvation issue........I see you replaced allot of these fuel components, and I'm sure you did the fuel filter as well....but also there is a screen inside the gas tank to filter out matter.....sometimes these get munged up and won't let enough gas out of the tank. If you do the pressure test like Jim said and try watching the pressure whilst the car is sitting there running, and you have changing pressure, you might want to check this screen out. With my '72 tank, I had to remove the fuel gage sender from the top of the tank and the screen was pretty much visible from where the sender was....then I disconnected the fuel line and sprayed carb cleaner and dissolved the mung and then drained it out into a container....mine came pretty clean that way.......
