Poor Running When Cold and New MPG calculation 120-130

GOD, Will this 122 ever run again.i think so. No 122s should run like this.All the info from members has been wonderful,but you still continue to suffer.I will add one item for thought. years ago in California (no ice) my 1967 122 wagon would have very similar symptoms,Run good one minute and than start dieing the next. After many unneeded part replacements and sleepless nights I found the problem. During the dieing process I stopped the car and took off the tops to the float chambers NO GAS. What I found was completly by accident.The fuel line has a brass junction piece about midway from the tank up to the fuel pump. In the brass junction I found a seed of some sort. It would swell up and block the flow. I found it by blowing back through the line .Never had the problem again.
Good luck,Keep trying.
John.
