Power Steering Fluid Leak
" Now I was just outside looking at things and realized my steering shaft is in really bad shape. Super loose. So I guess I'll be ordering up one of them too. They are about $150 for a Forman." @leathermaneod you should also check rock auto for the steering shaft. I think it was around $75-$80?

Mechanical FP gauge
@notlimah I'm running pretty much the same setup as you are. Draw straw V, fass150 and Ev1 mechanical fuel pressure guage. As soon as I cycle the key to run I can hear my pump run for maybe a second or 2 however my guage moves instantly to 7-10 psi with just that short burst and falls slowly until I start it up. I had to fiddle for a bit with my needle valve to find the spot where I could get the guage to react without bouncing(water hammer). Once started it sits steady between 18-19 psi.

Longer cranking...
I'm sure that should seal now. I can't be the old washers weren't visibly leaking. A ratcheting 17mm would be handy. I just used a stubby 17mm and it worked a little easier than a longer one.

I would also check the dampener for wear. The rubber on mine was protruding out both sides and my alignment marks were off by ~1/16". I went down to Rocky Mountain Cummins and picked one up...noticeable difference in how much smoother it is!- What's it like to have a waste gate?
