When the RP played up (see my earlier post), I too was almost at my wits end. The problem first occurred on steep and long hills, when the car would 'run out of breath' after a long climb in the indirect gears. At first i thought it was fuel vapourisation. I checked everything, including blowing back the fuel line to the tank which appeared to be clear. Like you, I rebuilt the fuel pump - even had it to bits on the side of the road on one occasion and only changed the fuel line front to rear out of sheer desperation, as everything else (tank, pump carburettor) was either new or overhauled. Once the new line was it, the problem was solved and the car is now going as it should.
Hope this helps you.
