Shot it with the PB, ate breakfast, went back downstairs. Broke the fuel line. Muttered a few curses. Went back upstairs.

Morty you should be seeing 41-47 PSI... You are low...
I'd be checking both the FPR and the Fuel Pump...

I'd still like to know how the FP test went. Because I know I was testing them wrong. I have a feeling Morty'* test might have been done wrong as well.
Did you follow the test procedure in the book?

To answer your question though, I did not use the diagnostic procedure in the book.

When I did the 97 I immediately told cough someone cough to change theirs...
Mine was totally clogged. I don't know how anything was going through it.

Its done. I learned. New line is being put on. I'm just hoping that the pump can hang on until the end of the month.
