Rough running engine with no explanation
Since you are using the CHTS instead of the water temp sensor, warm up the motor, shut it off, and use your multimeter to check the resistance at the big ecu connector. The fuel injection bible has the chart for the temperature reference. If I remember correctly, it is pin 13 measured to ground.

78 280Z fuel tank advice
I agree with Yarb & Steve. Tank Renu cost has increased plus shipping both ways is high. S30 World is the way to go. Put one in a friends 280z last summer, very impressed with it.

Door lock replacement 77 280z
The problem with the lock is likely the soft pot metal cam on the back of the lock is worn and no longer turns the lever attached to it in a big enough arc. The solution is to remove the lock, precisely drill a small hole in the cam, mount the lever and put a short length of coat hanger or piano wire thru the hole, bend it around the lever. This restores the full motion of the lever when you turn the key. Not too difficult, search on... lock repair to find some threads with the details. Have done this a number of times. The other option is new locks from ZcarDepot. https://zcardepot.com/collections/interior/products/door-lock-cylinder-set-with-keys-77-78-280z?_pos=4&_sid=0d683f898&_ss=r

77 280z Restoration
I would leave the new switch alone. There are probably no electrical contacts under that plastic piece since it is a aftermarket switch. Just abandon the buzzer. it is annoying anyway, at least for me. I have never had to slot the anti theft screws on the lock. I remove them with a small screwdriver, tap them with something counter clockwise to get them started. Some have drilled a small dent near the screw edge to help with the screwdriver or punch.

Front Cover Leak
I assume the leak you are seeing is engine oil? Did you use any sealant on the new cover gaskets? Copper coat is what I sealed the cover gaskets with.

L28ET need help with turbocharger looking for OE fitment and performance.
What about a T3 rebuild kit Dave? After the 5 speed rebuild you did, the turbo should be a piece of cake.. Make certain the oil feed line is in good shape or replace it.. One of the big causes of turbo failure. https://www.amazon.com/Turbo-Charger-Repair-Rebuild-Garrett/dp/B07SCGSTS4?th=1

L28ET need help with turbocharger looking for OE fitment and performance.
Was going to recommend you call Turbo City in CA for a stock garrett T3. But it looks like they are no longer in business. Maybe look on HybridZ for a source. Don't be tempted to buy a cheap chinese knockoff from ebay.

[2022] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Received new fuel tank from S30World to replace the tank in a friends 77. Impressive quality, identical to original. Comes with what looks like a primer coat, you need to do the final finish. Slight damage in shipping to one vent and corner of flange area. Installed & car runs great, owner happy except for the cost to fill it... Joined our local club and will be going on our drive to Eureka Springs Sunday to meet up with the Ozark club. Corrected a number of other issues with exhaust manifold, egr, fuel rail, locks, etc. Back down to six S30's in garage again..
