Okay, so. Long week. Got my fuel pressure tester in, I got maybe 2-3 psi after the fuel filter. So I took out the fuel pump assembly and dropped the tank. The tank was absolutely disgusting, the whole inside was covered with rust and there was tons of rust settled at the bottom (like handfuls). I just got a Por-15 gas tank repair kit and am working on cleaning out, removing rust, and re lining the inside of the tank. I also ordered a whole new fuel pump assembly, as well as the gasket and some fuel line to replace the old.

Here are pictures of the old fuel pump and assembly. As you can see its super crusty, and the hose coming from the pump has disintegrated into the last layer and there's a hole right where the fuel comes out of the pump, which explains why I could hear it prime and did get some fuel from the injectors, but not enough to get it going I guess. The fuel pump looks like an old battery that has exploded. The sock had also fallen off and into the tank and is black and partially disintegrated. One of the wires that attach to the top plate had also came off and all were seriously corroded (they're blue now). By next week I'm hoping to have a revamped fuel tank and pump assembly.
