Problem fixed!
If there's one thing I hate is doing a search and reading through problems similar to mine and not knowing how things ended up....so:
My problem was engine would start and run for a few seconds and quit. Connected a fuel pressure gage and it showed 10 psi. If I turned the key off and on several times I could get the pressure up to 30 psi but as soon as it started it would bleed down to less than 10 and quit. I replaced the fuel filter first. Make sure you have a 5/16 fuel line disconnect tool...I didn't so had to go get one. Filter was not plugged but looked like the original anyway. After, the pressure was not much better and still wouldn't run steady. I dropped the gas tank which was really not too hard. I did it in a parking lot, but I did have a floor jack. There's only 3 bolts. I know there are some posts on here about the pump hose connections being loose. I was hoping mine would be too and could just be tightened, but mine were tight. I ended up replacing the entire unit (pump, screen, regulator, sending unit, etc.) It cost about $120 for just the pump or $250 for everything. I bought an Airtex brand and it looked exactly like the original in every way...(O'reillys in TX). The pump fit perfectly and the tank went right back in place (the jack helped) and the pressure was a steady 65 psi after cycling the key a couple times to get the air out of the system. It ended up taking me about 4 hours. Hope this helps someone else.
