the dealership is trying to crank up this repair cost.

do not have a dealership repair a vehicle this old. they will try to get you to purchase a new vehicle by jacking up the repair cost. they make money selling cars not repairing old obsolete vehicles.

fuel pressure testing is no big deal. I would call an autozone near you to see if they have a pressure gauge to use /help you hook it up . takes about 5min total to do the checking.

my guess is you are not into working vehicles if so perhaps you should get a new vehicle.

you did come to the right place to get info. the info I give is test then replace. vehicle repair is much different today than back in the 60's.

TESTING IS REQUIRED. also you need a repair manual to do the tests and know how you vehicles maintenance should be performed.
