Does this seem like good fuel pressure from the pump? (Vid inside)

Does this look like the normal squirt you would get from a properly functioning fuel pump? FYI- Im getting a no-start condition and I have no fuel pressure at the shrader valve in the fuel rail. I disconnected the fuel filter to change it for a new one and while I was at it I decided to try and see how good the fuel pump pushed fuel out. Sorry for the bad quality of the vid...it was from my cell. Any comments appreciated.

i thought it was pretty strong squirt...i forced some air throught he filter and gas gushed right out which makes me think its was not dirty or clogged...i beginning to suspect fuel pressure regulator perhaps?
 
i usually look at the color of the gas when i pour it outta the filter. did u notice if it was a little black ?

if your FPR was bad, i think your problem would be having too much fuel. like running rich.
 
gas was clear, as it should have been. Changed the oil pump today, still no pressure. Hooked up a pressure gauge straight to the shrader valve today and it goes up when the pump runs, but the pressure bleeds out quickly. Any thoughts?
 
in your other thread, someone noted that if u didnt put a hose on the pump like shown in the pic, that fuel pressure would bleed off after the pump primed.
