i think I figured it out. I replaced the fuel lines this morning and it didn't affect it. I went back and droped the tank, I went back to square one. Whne I pulled the pump assembly out, I was asounded how much crap was on the screen, I had just replaced it with a new one. So mind reals back thru the evnts that had transpired. Yesterday morning, I went to fill teh tank, it had only 5 gals in it before. When I filled it, gas was leaki8ng out of the seal from the fuel pump assmebly. I had pinched the oring. I went back to the house and threw buckets under the car to catch the liquid gold spilling out. I thought the buckets were clean( i was in a hurry),apparently they were not. I dumped the gas, found all kinds of crap in it, cleaned the tank again. Installed a new pickup, put it all back together and now it runs great, Oh well, a lesson learned

Glad you got it figured out, I was at the race yesterday so I wasn't able to check in. Yes that rubber piece goes over the return line pipe on the bottom of the unit, and it sit's inside of a metal base on the inside of the tank to hold the assembly in place. If you don't have it in the metal base it WILL leak around that O-ring as it will not be square inside the hole. It will also cause the gas guage to give false readings on a regular basis. Sounds to me like you have a blockage that was caught inside your regulator as your fuel pressure should be roughly 30-32 at idle, and 38-40 at WOT.

I hope you dropped the tank when you did it, if you didn't it is nearly impossible to line up the return base inside the tank with that rubber stopper and drop it in. Learned this one the hard way. I didn't drop the tank and it ended up breaking the solder's on the metal tubes where they pass through the metal plate and had some MAJOR fuel leaks with a full tank. If your pressure was spiking to 50 then it wouldn't be a bad idea to check the inside of your regulator for trash.
