Fuel system appears recently attended to (new rubber lines), but will most likely drop fuel tank at some point.

Congratulations John.
My 72 280se 4.5 also runs very rough and like your will evenutally die when in drive or reverse. It idles nicely when in park or neutral. Mine had the tank screen filter and all of the fuel lines changed out. The PO had changed the cap and wires. So changing those items may not solve the idle issue but will help in the future.
