Sorry to hear that. I too recently bought one of dem kits for the ricer but thought it would be nice to have the tbi filter adapter. I’m gonna be mad with you if it’s made the same way. 🤬

The tbi fitting is legit the only reason I bought it. And the gauge I guess. Should get my money back for false advertising. Now tomorrow I'm going to do what I should have, and use some rubber hose and a T.
I'm about ready to spend $1000 and carb the son of a b*tch if the new injectors don't solve the problem once I can actually check fuel pressure.
A quick check of the pump would be to dead head test the pump. Just one hose on the fuel line from the pump. Iirc ecm will cycle the pump relay with a quick engine crank.
Thinking bout the ole tbi is bringing back memories. Bad egr valve opening can cause the same or similar symptoms. I’ve replaced a lot of them yrs ago. I’ve either watched the egr if the diaphragm moved or felt with my finger tips if it opened during the stumble. Easy fix
The hose on top of the egr valve is linked to a sensor. There’s no vacuum there to actuate the valve. Manifold pressure on the intake manifold side actuates it.
I made that contraption and I guess the act of removing the NEW fuel filter made it run.
No brakes tho. Almost hit my car, a fence, and ran a highway offramp stop sign behind a state trooper. My brother who "did the brakes" has a sucker punch coming.

Good fuel pressure and funny how fuel volume is important. I had a bad new in box Carter mechanical fuel pump act like your truck did on an Olds 307. I have seen a few of new Qjet paper filters plugged. The blow through test is obviously a good test, even on new EFI filters. We would do that on old ones and occasionally test new ones as well, never found a bad new one. I watch a few of the YouTube channels like Vice Grip Garage. All these long sitting vehicles with screwed brakes. My 70S had Ok brakes, sat for years but I did replace all the wheel cylinders and master cylinder eventually. Even my Dakota just blew a wheel cylinder out of the blue, due to the rear brakes not self adjusting. Probably a master cylinder and new wheel cylinders and maybe some lines and hoses are also in your future. At least one issue is fixed and cheaply.
