WIERD!!! Yup, mine would hold psi fine, but the prime was the problem.

The car just runs stronger, and the vibration is more subdued. Pump is "louder" and primes in one third the time. (Guess the OG got tired...) The Ford pumps are indeed BOSCH BTW. Looks like it was the original. Figured I'll just replace it with another Ford part. (more reliable I hope?) Fueling looks good all around but now I have even more of a "gassy" smell after running around. Checked the Ohms on the ignition coil: Primary: 0.8 both sides. Secondary: 14.1K and 13.8K Looks like new ignition time! I'm not getting away with anything on this car, am I? I really hope this does "it".... Thanks everybody for the suggestions and help. (God only knows we need em' with this car!
