Hmmmm....looks like the moderators deleted the entire post instead of the first paragraph of it. Anyway what I was trying to describe was to disconnect the return line from the fuel pump boot and disconnect the other end of the return line from the fuel distributor. Take a hose "pincher" and pinch the the small black rubber hose that is clamped onto the back of the accumulator or remove it and block it with something. After doing all this you can then blow some compressed air into the line and see if there is any restrictions in the line, there are no other parts on this line. If it's something that plugged the line up, the air could probably dislodge it or you can see if it's a fuel line that collapsed. If there is nothing blocking the fuel return line, then check to see if the steel hose going into the fuel pump boot dosen't have anything blocking it. You might also want to make sure there is nothing clogging the return path in the fuel distributor. The distributor has tiny screens in it that can easily be blocked. For more info on doing this drop Marty Maier a line, he's rebuilt a few distrubitrs before and can probably walk you through checking yours out.
