I wish you luck on your troubleshooting and repairs. If there's a way to measure the pressure and flow rate from the pump, that would be good. I assume there are published specs for that? Always try to deal in facts, through measurements or precise testing/troubleshooting, so you don't spend money/time working on what is NOT the problem.
So, the video shows nice acceleration. Also, there's no smoke when doing that! And, to finish off the boasting, I just took a trip to the Kalamazoo, MI area and made the 605 mile round trip on 1 tank at 31.0 mpg. Mostly interstate driving at 75 mph, a little rural driving, a couple food stops, and A/C going the whole time. I like this old car!

I'm having internet issues so YouTube is too slow. Are you moving the shifter at 5,000 or is this the in drive auto shift point?

Perhaps the 4,500 shift point is with the kick-down switch NOT in use??
I left the shift lever in D and let the pedal and kick-down switch do all the work.
