Default running problem--losing mind

Hey guys,

I have the same problem for about a year now. I cant the this car to stay running is definitely fuel issue. Here is what I have replaced: fuel pump, filter X11, tank, fuel lines, carb., fuel sender, distributor, cap, rotor, wires, plugsX2, exhaust manifold, head gasket, thermostat, heater core, water pump. all hoses(thinking it was a cooling issue).
Now it runs great at idle but if I drive it more than a mile all it wants to do is die. I have had this car about 2 1/2 yrs and driven it maybe 350 miles since I have had it because of the running problem. Now there was a time for about 3 months that I drove it everyday and only had to replace fuel filter once and drove great. I replace tank and sender about 1 month ago and the plugs today. The tank had about 3 inches of slugde in it because I cut it open afterwards. But I am getting ready to sell the f-ing thing and buy another one that is almost done or close to done.

I guess I'm just know v8 better and not this straight 6's.

Please help!!!!!

thanks
ross
