Once you build pressure, momentarily pinch off the feed line before your gauge and see if the dropping stops when you do that to indicate a bad fuel pump. If that doesn't stop it, try the same test on the return line to indicate a regulator or injector leak.

This car should have rubber fuel lines. Don't try this is they are nylon lines.
