UPDATE:
Its running @ 6 PSI at idle just fine, BUT if you mash the pedal or put it under load, the clear in line fuel filter runs dry or almost dry, it falls on its face then dies, so NOT ENOUGH fuel being delivered now, these aftermarket Precision fuel pumps are crap.
One thing for sure I was joking with Don about, I have gotten pretty damn fast at changing them now, ( Red Sticky grease is my friend for the fuel pushrod) but hey I am done with practicing.
I ordered the Edelbrock 1721, it will be here Wednesday, its three times the price, but hey if it works with the new AVS2 1609 carb then I am happy.
The average guy like me does not know any better, I am not a race engine guy, so I think if I ordered the right part it should complete the repair properly BUT IT DOES NOT..
Thanks to this group/forum, I have learned some valuable things, such as pressure testing, not just at idle but at load as well.
I could not imagine my motor running that lean all the time, starving for fuel could not be good on the engine to run lean/starving for fuel.
I am visioning pistons and all sorts of issues, basically trying to run under a load with vapors. me o my.
