10 psi lower then the low end of the scale?
I think you should fall in the 41-47 psi range... Are you running 31 psi....?
My car runs at about 41-46 when I should do 48-55 psi... I know I'll need a fuel pump replacement soon.. Thank god I already have one waiting..

That was a good call Justin....
Dame, sounds like maybe a new fuel pump is in order. 10psi low fuel pressure sounds like it would cause a cough going from idle to WOT. This is a silly question, but your fuel filter is in good shape, no?

I got ahold of that machinist Justin, We're hashing things to get your heads ready to bolt in.

Dame what exactly is your fuel pressure with the key on, and then with the engine running? Also what does the fuel pressure gage do when you tip in the throttle?
41-47 psi is good, but if you are falling way short then that pump you thought was weak may be showing signs...
Even my 91 runs above 40psi... lol

So, Sounds like fuel has it held back.
Tonight on cold start it loped like it had 180* overlap, But settled into a slight lope nicely. Low/Mid power is gone until it runs for a bit and High power is just gone. Sounds like a pump/screen eh? God this car never goes right...

Noticed a beeping going along with my music tonight, Looked at the guages and the alt was in the red. Pop the hood, Bolt the positive cable back in. Runs better. I think this is about 400 little things.
