I forgot to mention, that when the fuel issue first appeared, my gas milage went into the toilet. I thought that I was getting way too much fuel, but I gues that's not possible with a mechanical pump.

From your responses it sounds like my fuel was being highly restricted, but I'm not clear on how low/blocked fuel pressure would cause my mileage to deteriorate so rapidly.

I'd think the milage would improve because too little fuel was getting it... then again if I floored it everytime the fuel started to slacken, then the imbalance/inefficiency would increase greatly, using far more fuel than was needed just to maintain 1000-2000 rpms... Maybe I just answered by own question.
