My 73T was doing the same. There were two issues I believe which eventually fixed the problem. I believe my MFI electric pump was leaning out as it warmed up. It was the original and as it got warm it began to crap out and leaned out the mixture.
The other was my distributor. I checked the timing over and again but not once the car was overheating. When it was overheating the timing was off. The distributor was a little dirty and the weights were sticking.
It's hard to tell if the electric pump is margina.l All I know is that mine was orginal and it would eventually leave me stranded so I replaced it $$. I now typically run from 180-210.
