Terry,
While I am reluctant to offer advice when you have the Randalls of the world 
speaking up, I would suggest that you consider one other issue.  While I am not 
familiar with the TR3A fuel sender, I had a somewhat similar problem with a TR6 
and the problem turned out to be a leaking float on the sending unit.  A crack 
in the float can allow it to do funny things at different angles.  Just 
something to check.  I replaced the nylon (or whatever the material was) float 
with a solid one from an old Ford and I can almost guarantee that no concours 
judge will ever know the difference.  Good luck.
