Next, the fuel filters will be cleaned out or replaced (I did that when I was getting the car ready for the road, less than 50 miles ago). If the pressure still drops, the low pressure pump will be tested. From a cost perspective, I’m hoping to get the fuel system working with its current configuration, or with as few changes as possible.
Looks like your low pressure side is the culprit.

Disconnect the HP pump from power, take the return hose off from the surge tank, run a hose from there into a bucket, run the low pressure pump, and measure volume versus time.
