Re: dropping fuel pressure after shutdown

["Dave Aukerman" <mhauk@ccsdana.net>]

Accumulator has been swapped but not checked.  Part was off a wrecked car
of same year (still had pressure in line).  Check valve test per Bentley
shows ok.  Gauge attached to outlet of filter jumps to 75+psi upon
jumpering pump and then drops and holds pressure of ~45-55psi at filter.

The plot thickens.
