Thank you,
  So So much.  The test worked like a charm.  But unfortunately
my pump is fine.  I was secretely hoping it was bad as that
would explain many of my problems.  Its not, Its on the high
side of the scale for System Pressure and control pressure is
right in the middle to the low side (less CP is richer running
if memory serves) so I'm not going to mess with it.  I guess
I'll just accept the fact that a ported head and high
compression 10vt motor leans out at 8psi.   However, I am
runnign the old style Fuel Distributor so moving to the newer
style may help things quite a bit since it flows more fuel. 
We'll see.
Thanks
  Todd
