Need help diagnosing a fuel pressure problem

[maardak@yahoo.ca (Mardak)]

Tried to get the new car running today - here's the scoop...

I swapped the entire fuel distributor, including lines and injectors
with a known working unit w/ new injectors from the 81.  After bleeding
the injectors into a jar for a quite a while, only one or two would
flow when the fuel distributor plate was lifted more than 1/4".

The symptoms described to me before I started working on it were -
idles (not great), but would stumble and die if any load placed on it. 
So, I would think I've got a fuel pressure problem - I don't believe
it's a flow restriction because I ran the fuel pump with the hose
disconnected from the fuel filter, and it flowed plenty...

There's a new fuel pump and control pressure regulator already
installed.  And, changing out the fuel distributor did nothing to help
the situation.

I don't have access to a fuel pressure gauge, but I'm thinking the new
fuel pump is pooched.  Before I rip the other one out of the 81
(doesn't look like fun), anyone have any advice on what to check?

Thanks!
