Looking a whole lot better...but do that compression check!
Out of curiosity, how does the old pump"s diaphragm look?
Did you test the pressure before you took it out?

As far as the old lift pump, I kind of wish I would have checked pressure prior just to conpare. I peeled apart the old lever lift pump and inspected the diaphragm. I seemed slightly dry and on the underside when I folded it back there was a little stress cracking, but nothing that seemed to go all the way through. Although I am sure it's possible to have a microscopic leak. I didn't notice signs of oil either, just diesel.
Ignore the 3 slits. It's how I took it apart.

Oh and one more thing; I found a boost leak which explains why my gauge read low after swapping injectors. When I took things apart to install the injectors, I inadvertently cracked my 1/8" nylon boost tie that goes to the gauge in the cab. It cracked right at the brass compression fitting where it enters my pusher intake tube. I knew this would happen some day. Auto meter provides a brass compression fitting for you to install their gauge boost tube into your intake, but it uses a brass ferrule/compression fitting. When in reality one should really be using a delrin/plastic ferrule since it is going on a plastic tube. Can't find any plastic ferrules so I ordered another 1/8" brass one. For now the intake mani is plugged and the boost gauge reads zero . Which doesn't matter because the truck is now in the shop ha!

Or just use an Isspro boost gauge which uses an electronic sender in the intake to convert into a gauge reading

I think the spray angle issue is overblown. May make a difference on 5x12 and above, but not much if at all on the 185s, 190s etc. as always, nozzle projection and timing help.
