The pump could still be "good" even while it leaks fuel into the crankcase.

That's why I don't think the FSM tests are going to help me.
In any case, I just used the mity vac to pressurize the outlet fitting while plugging the inlet. It held steady at 30 psi. Put in under water, no bubbles, shaft or otherwise. So the lift pump is not the problem.
I'll attempt to pressurize the tank with the injectors lines disconnected and see if they product a steady drip. If so, bonus = new way to prime the system without wearing out your starter and battery (603's have no hand pump)!
If the lines drip fuel, I think I'll just put new oil in and run it, checking the oil frequently to see if the level starts going up due to fuel in the crankcase, in which case, it must be either the IP or the injectors.
