I rebuilt the FPR with the Autozone kit, which included a new spring and used the new spring. Either way this is without taking the FPR into account, I was measuring at the inlet, fuel line disconnected and plugged into a pressure gauge (dont have the materials to make an inline one yet).

Autozone has a fuel pump rebuild kit, that doesn't include strainer for 54, or I could order THIS from Rockauto. Thoughts? I don't really have the budget to spend 150$ on a new whole assembly, especially if I don't need to. The gas gauge seems to be working fine for example. I'm just looking to keep it ticking, for occasional use as a work truck.
