Truck missing at first start

A small leak in the suction line could do just what you describe. The small air bubble gets into a single injector line, and drops the pressure in that line (by being compressible) until it finally clears it. That injector would smoke white while that's happening.
The fuel in the line between the lift pump and the IP would fire the engine on the first one over the top, like it usually does.

That might be true, but I put more than that into mine with no damage. It would also be hard to seal it up enough to be able to titrate the pressure down to 1, IMO...Mark There goes the medic in me again , it means to regulate the volume ...Mark

Don't do it with a full tank, it will come back at you when you let off the pressure.

Which might be why your stock tank holds 36 gallons.

just a regular fuel cap taken apart then drilled it with a 31/64 bit the fitting screwd in tight
yes I know its cracking but I will replace
plastic insert
ok guys sorry it took so long finally pressurized the tank used 8 lbs and found a leak. the PO must have broken the hard line where it goes to the pump and he put it together with hose clamps and some type of plastic fitting! It looks like there has to be serious restriction going on right there. the truck seems to run a little smoother but still not quite right so cracked each injector it missed on every one so maybe it's just the restriction causing it. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix that so it has no restriction? here are some pics

Yes it is running a lot better but I think that changing the line from the tank to the lift pump will make a huge difference because of the restriction where the PO put the line together... I will continue to update as I go along.. thanks to all that have replied

Just a quick update I replaced the line from tank to lift pump with 5/16 rubber and replaced the lift pump as well (had to stay with the stock pump for now) that barb the PO fixed the line with only had a inside diameter of 3/16 no wonder the old girl ran like she did
