HRL, I forgot to mention I added a fuel pressure gauge after my last "stall". It reads about 4 PSI at idle. After I added the pressure gauge I tried to simulate the "stalling" scenario in my driveway. I took Ol' Blue on a drive around town and noted the fuel pressure prior to shutdown (4psi) I parked it in the sun and talked to my neighbor for about 20 minutes. When I restarted the motor, the fuel pressure gauge indicated 0 psi. I opted to stay in the driveway versus driving on the street. I left the motor at idle with 0 psi fuel pressure but, the motor continued to run. color me completely confused after this experiment.

On another note, that may or may not matter, I have a dual action fuel pump. It's not needed, as I went with electric wipers after my rewire.

I think my next step will be an electric pump with a return line. Any recommendations on a setup?
