Wow guys, really great responses and ideas. THANKS

The liquid filled fuel pressure gauge is brand new, but I will check it and attempt to equalize the pressure or adjust if there is a screw.

As far as the regulator theory, I don't have one. The fuel lines from where they come off of the hard line are all brand new.

The only performance issue is due to the fact that I have a brand new carb on the car which is not dialed in yet. The car starts fine, idles great.

My theory is that the filter sock on the pickup tube of the sending unit may have been compromised by the ethanol in our fuel around here. I had some serious corrosion issues with a previous Holley Street Avenger (yes Mr. Weld I know!!). I've purchased a new sending unit and will be here early next week.
