My guess on your fuel pressure problem is that you might have not connected all of the fuel lines correctly. I don't know exactly which hoses you had to put together and even the ones you didn't are suspect. You must go over the fuel circuit fitting by fitting, some of the hoses go over and under and it can be easy to mix them up especially when you have never seen the system before. Just using a drawing is hard so my best recomendation is to find another "D" that runs (wasn't a basket case) and go over it hose by hose.I have a fuel pressure tester but I think you can troubleshoot this without it.
