Hey Bruce,
Bill's anecdote destroys my "it works or it doesn't" notion about the tank pumps, probably based on my more recent experience with the Bosch system with the AC transfer pump in the tank. But then, my own bout with the Regina tank pump, proved one could be marginal, due to the weakness resulting from the high resistance of a brush spring trying to do the job of a broken copper wire.
Steve Ringlee's edited version of my experience placed in the 700/900 FAQ fails to point out this distinction from his worn commutator (dead pump) experience. I don't know exactly how long before the repair at 142K this car was "drivable" with the broken brush wire, depending on the coolth under a full tank of fuel.
PS - if that 91 doesn't have the Schrader on the rail, perhaps the return line from the regulator could be redirected into a bottle for the first crank of the day. Any fuel coming from the return port of the regulator indicates regulated pressure is reached - assuming the regulator works. For safety, disable the ignition at primary.
