Default Fuel Pressure at moderate acceleration?

Ok....I have a heavily pinched fuel line...new one is on the way (has been for 2 weeks)...but I was wondering what your guys Fuel Pressure looks like...

At idle, I am at 40. When I accelerate moderately....you know, normal everyday "legal" driving....it drops to 38.

When I hammer it, it will jump in the high 40s.....but at normal acceleration, it drops.

Is this normal, or should it raise slightly to41/42 at normal acceleration?

My 93 LX is similar to your rod, TFS,24# inj., etc. Mine runs best at 42#.

I fixed the fuel line....What a pain with those subframe connectors too [:@]

But what a difference! No more bucking at low throttle....fuel pressure holds steady....very nice

The idle still surges a bit....
