Hey everybody,
Had a hard starting problem after I ran out of gas. Took 5-10 seconds of cranking before starting. Fuel pressure gauge showed 42 psi during priming, but would immediately drop to 0 when I turned ignition off. Car ran fine otherwise. Replaced fuel pump and solved problem. Now maintains 42 psi after I shut it off. Used the access panel cutout method and made things much easier. Thanks to all who replied to my original post.

How hard was it doing it by the access panel?

 

Hey Hyper,
It was a heckuva lot easier than dropping the rear axle, exhaust, etc. I guess it took me about 4 hrs., being careful with everything I did. I could probably do it in an hour now.
I used this site for reference--http://www.worldisround.com/articles/12533/index.html
I ended up cutting it closer to the front, probably 1 3/4" (he suggests 2 1/2") and also cut more out of the left front to access the quick disconnects easier. Used a Roto Zip cutout tool with a right angle attachment so it was like using a circular saw with a metal cutting blade. Made short cuts to keep the sparking to a minimum.
