Youve replaced most of the applicable parts. "new" distributors are suspect because that means non OEM and lesser quality. a compression test will let us know if the engine is mechanically sound, in time, and holding compression.

How long is it taking for your car to warm up? Anything longer than 5-10minutes is too long.

Well, if it's longer than 5-10min, I would suspect an open Thermostat, which is a likely cause for poor fuel economy.
Do you have any soot/black dust on your rear bumper near the exhaust? I'm wondering if maybe one or more of the injectors got clogged with something after you replaced some parts. The filter should catch pretty much everything but it's just a thought.
