I replac ed the fuel filter and tightened all my grounds (the valve cover to coil was a bit loose) and it now runs great. My working theory is this: when low on gas, the pump picked up sediment, clogging the filter. With the filter clogged, fuel delivery obviously was poor, causing a misfire, loosening an already iffy ground.
I also swapped the battery for my spare. My idle isn’t even lopey anymore. I’m also getting better fuel economy. Today was a good day. Now I just need to do timing, PCV, fuel pressure regulator, get a real exhaust, r eplace fron t O2 sensor, get a hawg ass cam, put a chip in the ECU, clean up some rust, and I'll be ready for winter.

Fuel pumps always pump from the bottom of the tank so running the level low has no effect on picking up sediment

Right. However, there exist sediments that float in gas, as I saw when I opened the tank in the Jetta.

If you saw something floating in the gas it got there when you open the fuel tank
