You might have a test port on the fuel rail on the engine. Some of the early engines did not have this. It should be around 39 psi + or - depending on the intake manifold vacuum.
You have 3 pumps. One high pressure pump on the frame rail and two low pressure pumps in the tanks. I want to say the pumps in the tanks are around 9 psi, but that's going from memory.
