Pressure gauge shows a steady 6.5 pounds of fuel pressure at idle, but it's under the hood so I have no idea if it drops under acceleration. I can run it up with a blip of the throttle lever and it stays steady, so I'm assuming at this point, that the pump is good. The filter however, is another idea I hadn't considered. PO put an inline filter in it also easily located under the hood, so I think I'll change that and see if it makes a difference.
