Have you got a fuel pressure regulator? When I changed to an electric fuel pump I had exactly the same problem, until I fitted a regulator

some success.
went out and had another look at car earlier, seemed the new dizzy had a bit knocked of two of the terminals, tried a new one went for a run, idleing
etc seems ok, car still has original problem.
Giving the beans its fine, slowing back down to normal driving you have to pump the pedal to keep the car going as the revs slowly drop, occasionly
springs back to life and off like a scalded cat, also sometimes when coming to a stop just dies. Will go back to original posted problem thread and
try to track that problem down as hopefully this one is sorted. (HE SAYS HOPEFULLY) Thanks all you are an exceptionally friendly helpful bunch.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

i had similar issues on a pinto. One time was blocked fuel filter, but you say you have tried without. Is there only one?
Another time was failing sierra electronic ingition module, but i guess you dont have that.
As said already, check everything timing wise is OK. Id suspect electrical problem before suspecting fuelling in the early stages. What do plugs look
like? is one a different colour?
i also had a similar problem on an old Golf i rebuilt. Fitted 16V engine into Mk1 GTi. Everything was great until a couple of months after having an
immobiliser fitted. Tried all sorts to repair it, including chucking money at a golf specialist. In the end it was the immobiliser wiring. The feed
wire to fuel pump was too small causing fuel feed starvation. Thicker wire = problem solved.
A neighbour had similar issue to yours with a vintage car. He made a fuel tank. Used sealing compound when fitting pipes and sender etc. Some of the
sealant (rubbery stuff) came off in tank and caused partial intermittent blockages.
