Vulcan, and the eight place is a U.

I have yes, when its having trouble and i feel like ive flooded it i turn the key all the way back and wait a little while. Probably not 5 seconds more like 5 minutes.

Its up there 184000.

Tomorrow i will check for cracks in the hose as you have mentioned and see if i can get a hold of a fuel pressure gauge.

Get back to me if any of this information helps in diagnosing any other problems. Otherwise i will post again tomorrow with any discoveries or information.

EDIT: I used Fords VIN decoder and this should be anything you want to know:
