Fuel pressure is back 
but its not holding the pressure in the system once the car is off. Most things I have read suspect I don't have the fuel pump assembly sealed well on the gas tank. has a giant gasket that and a plastic cap that crews on to hold the assembly in place, its kind of a pain in the ass to get sealed correctly. But none the less I think shes fixed, since the pressure drops off it just takes a tad bit longer to start. Need to test drive her for the week and see if its ok. I got the pressure back because I incorrectly installed the fuel pump, there is a plastic collar keeping an o-ring in place between the fuel pump and the fuel feed. With out this collar the o-ring can slide down leaving no seal, thus the fuel simply sprays back into the tank instead of the feed line. Installed the collar, blew air through the lines and no clogs, turned the key, cranked up like she always does. Once I got the pressure back I had to crank down the FPR cause it was reading like 60psi, must have been a crazy dirty fuel filter.
