What was the fuel pressure reading with the original HP pump?

What was the fuel pressure reading with each successive new fuel pump in turn?

At what point did you replace the FPR, what if any effect did replacing it on fuel pressure readings?

What is its fuel pressure reading now KOEO? and KOER with and then without the FPR vacuum line connected to source?

What was the result of static fuel pressure testing?
