Geoff, if you did this just for a test, ok, but I don't think that
at the fuel divider is the proper point to measure system fuel 
pressure under normal operating conditions.  (This comment assumes
that you have one of the ancient Bendix fuel injection systems... if you
have something else, please disregard this message.)
